Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Nordquist Appraisal LLC

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 house is much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from Nordquist Appraisal LLC actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

In today's ever-changing market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a fair listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your house, then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes similar sales in your town. It's a customary starting point when determining 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 logical move.

But even if you're working with an experienced agent , it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Nordquist Appraisal LLC can help you! We'll 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".

In addition to helping you decide on a realistic selling price so your home will charm buyers. A skillful appraisal from Nordquist Appraisal LLC can:

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you have found a potential buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing
Cut down the chances of unexpected messes that can cause sales to flop
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Improvements that add value to your home

Nordquist Appraisal LLC can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. Ask yourself "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third 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 everything will affect it in a different way. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the expenses involved.
