Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Big D Appraisals

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 an agent to sell your property, then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays selected homes for sale in your area. It's a customary 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 natural move.

Even if you've been working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

That's where we come in! We'll do 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 house's features.

In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell so your house will attract potential buyers, a polished appraisal from Big D Appraisals can:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you find a a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your home's shape inside and out to impress potential buyers

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal from us 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 realistically price 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. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

Home improvements that add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other equally important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it... Should I finish my closet remodel... Almost any project has the potential to affect value in some way. But not everything will have an equal effect. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. Appraisers have no vested interest in your final selling price, like a real estate agent on commission will. An appraisal fee from Big D Appraisals is based on our efforts to complete your report, and are not a percentage of your home's sale price. A professional appraisal from Big D Appraisals helps you make the sharpest decisions when it comes to investments to add value and deciding on a profit-maximizing sales price.
