Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from DAS Appraisals

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 house is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's price 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 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 the mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get a skillful listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to list your property, then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes comparable sales houses in your area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the house's time on the market, this is a really important step.

Even if you've been working with the most expert real estate agent, it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

That's where DAS Appraisals comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Home improvements that add value
