Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Casa Grande Appraisal Service

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

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of 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 house sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

With today's fluctuating market conditions, you should definitely considering hiring a licensed appraiser to get a factual listing price for your home.

Working with a real estate agent to list your house? More than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes a list of sale homes in your local area. It's a customary starting point when 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 standard process.

Even if you've hired the most experienced agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign a Listing Agreement.

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

A professional appraisal from Casa Grande Appraisal Service can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in buyers, and we'll also:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you find an interested buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your house's condition inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Cut down the chances of unexpected quandaries that can cause your sale to go up in smoke
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Improvements that add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself 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 kitchen 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. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Casa Grande Appraisal Service appraisers have no vested interest in the amount the home sells for, unlike an agent. Our fees are based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
