Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from AAAnderson Associates Inc.

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 home is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house will not attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get a precise listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

If you're working with an agent to list your property, more than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes competing homes for sale in your area. It's a good starting point when 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 crucial step.

But even if you've hired the most accomplished agent, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before signing the Listing Agreement.

And that's where AAAnderson Associates Inc. comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and AAAnderson Associates Inc. can help with that. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete my kitchen remodel?"
