Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Steyskal Home Appraisal LLC

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from Steyskal Home Appraisal LLC actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's estimated value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a proper listing price for your home in today's fluctuating market.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your house, more than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays comparable sales houses in your local area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a logical process.

However, it's also advantageous to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement, even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where we come in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

A qualified appraisal from Steyskal Home Appraisal LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will charm potential buyers, and we'll also:

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Decrease the chances of unknown dilemmas that cause the process to crumble
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Improvements that add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. Unlike an agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
