Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Appraisal Services of Brandon, Inc ..

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 house is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract serious potential 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. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

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

Are you working with an agent to sell your property? Quite often they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays a list of houses for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point in deciding 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 process.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign the Listing Agreement, even if you are working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where Appraisal Services of Brandon, Inc . comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell so your home will charm buyers. An expert appraisal from Appraisal Services of Brandon, Inc . can:

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you have found a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your home's quality inside and out to blow away buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems
Decrease the chances of unknown predicaments that cause the process to crumble
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Improvements to add value to your home

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your property. Ask yourself "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

We'll help you make some of these decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
