Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Northeast Valuation Group

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 a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from Northeast Valuation Group actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

In today's fluctuating market, using a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get an expert listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to list your home, more than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays selected sale homes in your town. 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 natural move.

But even if you've been working with the most experienced real estate 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 Northeast Valuation Group comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

We're also experienced in helping you decide on a realistic price to sell so your house will interest potential buyers. A knowledgeable appraisal from Northeast Valuation Group can:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you find a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your house's shape inside and out to wow potential buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing
Reduce chances of unknown difficulties that can cause sales to flop
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the costs you'd pay.

We'll help you make some of these decisions. Northeast Valuation Group appraisers have no vested interest in what amount the home sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
