Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact SafeValues Inc.

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

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's estimated value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house will not attract serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is sitting still on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a correct listing price for your home in today's adapting market.

Working with a real estate agent to sell your property? Then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes competing houses for sale in your town. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the house's time on the market, this is a vital step.

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

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