Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Velocity Appraisals, LLC

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 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 over-inflated opinion of their home's estimated value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

With today's adapting market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get a fair listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to list your property, more than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays comparable sale homes in your area. 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 standard process.

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

And that's where Velocity Appraisals, LLC 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".

In addition to assisting you with setting a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers. An efficient appraisal from Velocity Appraisals, LLC can:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have found a prospective buyer

Improvements that add value to your home

Velocity Appraisals, LLC can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Questions like "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

We can step in and help make these decisions. Unlike a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
