Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact 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.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from AAAnderson Associates Inc. actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property won't attract interested buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home stays 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 sitting still on the market.

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

Are you working with an agent to sell your home? Quite often they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes competing sales houses in your town. It's a good starting point in 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 expert agent, it's in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign the Listing Agreement.

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

AAAnderson Associates Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in potential buyers, and we can also:

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you have a prospective buyer
Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's quality inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing

Improvements to add value to your home

AAAnderson Associates Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can affect their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
