Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from ADK Appraisal Services

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

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your property, more than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes competing sales in your town. It's a good starting point in 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 standard move.

In our opinion, however, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from someone who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - BEFORE listing your property - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

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


	In today's evolving market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a skillful listing price for your home. Contact us today.

ADK Appraisal Services can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice buyers, and we can also:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you find a an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your house's quality inside and out to impress buyers
Make yourself aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Reduce chances of unknown predicaments that can cause sales to deteriorate
Eliminate 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 house is more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal from us 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 value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract serious potential buyers, which means you waste time and (not to mention) money and still have no prospects for buying your home. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage.

Home improvements that add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other equally important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it... Do I need to complete my closet remodel... Virtually any project will affect value in some way. But not everything will have the same return on investment. Remodeling your kitchen might improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out the expenses involved before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. Unlike an agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price. A professional appraisal from ADK Appraisal Services helps you make the decisions on investments to add value and deciding on a profit-maximizing price at which to sell.
