Setting An Accurate Listing Price
Today’s market can be challenging. Whether you’re a homeowner selling your property on your own or a seasoned realtor trying to establish a fair list price it’s often difficult to sift through all of the market data to determine an actual value for your home.
So it’s common for homeowners and realtors to rely on appraisers for assistance when establishing a list price for the sale of their home.
That’s where Empire Appraisal Group, Inc. comes in as we have a long history of working with homeowners trying to sell their home as well as realtors needing additional support for their listings (or to prove to their clients the real market value of a property).
At Empire Appraisal Group, Inc. we can provide you with a professional 3rd party appraisal, which is far more accurate than a realtor based Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). A pre-listing appraisal ensures both you and your agent have an exact description of your home’s features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and comparable sales.
In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal:
- Provides a useful tool for negotiating with potential buyers and their agents
- Helps instill confidence in potential buyers since you have written proof of your home’s value
- Highlights any repair problems that help eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay closing
- Decreases the chances of sales falling through due to unforeseen problems
Keep in mind that overpriced homes attract far fewer buyers, which means less and possibly no offers, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts while an underpriced home can result in a lower selling price and you are leaving substantial money on the table.
Getting a pre-listing appraisal will help you and/or your realtor determine an exact list price for your property as well as maximize your chances of selling quickly for top dollar. Also, we can help you determine what, if any, improvements would be the most cost effective in adding additional value to your home.
A full appraisal may or may not be needed depending on what it is you’re looking for. Often a more limited valuation or market analysis report is entirely appropriate, whereas other times a full interior and exterior valuation may be necessary.
