Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact All-Star Appraisers

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

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they had planned, so investing in an appraisal from All-Star Appraisers actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, 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 serious potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a true listing price for your home in today's adapting market.

Are you working with an agent to list your home? More than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes competing sales in your area. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to minimize your house's time on the market and maximize your profit.

In our opinion, though, you might also wish to consider an appraisal from someone who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - PRIOR to putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

And that's where All-Star Appraisers comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so 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.

An expert appraisal from All-Star Appraisers can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice buyers, and we'll also:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you find a potential buyer
Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's quality inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
Reduce chances of unknown dilemmas that can cause your sale to crumble
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value

All-Star Appraisers can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

We can step in and help you make these decisions. Unlike an agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Our fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
