Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Compliant Appraisal Services LLC

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. Are you working with an agent to sell your house? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays selected sales houses in your local area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a really important (and very common) step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before signing a Listing Agreement, even if you have hired the most experienced real estate agent.

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

With today's fluctuating market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get a just listing price for your home. Contact us today.

A qualified appraisal from Compliant Appraisal Services LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers, and we'll also:
  • Be a an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you find a potential buyer
  • Impress potential buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make yourself aware of problems that might delay a closing
  • Decrease the chances of unexpected obstacles that cause the process to break down
  • Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through
So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract potential buyers, which means you waste time and (not to mention) money and are left with no offers. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

Compliant Appraisal Services LLC can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it... Is now the time to add a deck... Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel... Practically any project has the potential to influence value in some way. But each thing affects value differently. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.

Compliant Appraisal Services LLC can help you with these decisions. Unlike an agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Our fees are not a percentage of the sales price -- our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report.
