Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Coleman 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. If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your property, more than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes comparable homes for sale in your town. 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 move.

In our opinion, however, you might also wish to consider an appraisal from a licensed professional who tracks real estate values for living - PRIOR to listing your property - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where Coleman Appraisal, LLC can help you! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

Using a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a true listing price for your home in today's evolving market. Contact us today.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

Home improvements that add value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it... Should I put in that new bathroom... Do I need to finish my closet remodel... Almost any project has the potential to affect value in some way. But each thing impacts marketability differently. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

Coleman Appraisal, LLC can help you with these decisions. Coleman Appraisal, LLC appraisers have no vested interest in the amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. An appraisal fee from Coleman Appraisal, LLC is based on our efforts to finalize the report, and are not a percentage of your home's sale price. When it comes to investing in your home and setting a fair price to sell at, a professional appraisal from Coleman Appraisal, LLC helps you make the smartest decisions.
