Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Klier Valuations

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. Are you working with an agent to list your property? Then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes a list of sales in your local area. It's a customary 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 natural process.

But even if you've hired an expert agent, it's definitely in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

That's where Klier Valuations comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

In today's evolving market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get a precise listing price for your home. Contact us today.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth much 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 don't attract potential buyers, which means you throw away time and (not to mention) money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage.
