Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Expose Value Appraisals

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

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they had planned, so investing in an appraisal from Expose Value Appraisals actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of home 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 do not attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

In today's evolving market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a sharp listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to list your house? Quite often they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays a list of homes for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize the house's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a vital step.

Even if you're working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's in your best interest to also have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

That's where Expose Value Appraisals comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

We're also experienced in helping you decide on a realistic price to sell so your home will entice buyers. A qualified appraisal from Expose Value Appraisals can:

Be a valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your home's quality inside and out to blow away buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems
Cut down the chances of unexpected quandaries that can cause sales to fall through
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Improvements to add value to your home

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your home. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third 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 everything will affect it in a different way. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
