Today’s market can be challenging. Whether you’re a property owner selling your property on your own or a seasoned realtor trying to establish a fair list price it’s often difficult to sift through all of the market data to determine a true value for your property.
So it’s common for property owner and realtors to rely on appraisers for assistance when establishing a list price for the sale of their property.
That’s where Karmelich Appraisal & Consulting Inc. comes in as we have a long history of working with property owners trying to selling their own property as well as realtors needing additional support for their own listings (or to prove to their clients the true market value of a property).
At Karmelich Appraisal & Consulting Inc. we can provide you with a professional 3rd party appraisal, which is far more accurate than a realtor based Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). A pre-listing appraisal ensures both you and your agent have an accurate description of your property’s features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and comparable sales.
In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract buyers, a professional appraisal:
- Provides an effective tool for negotiating with potential buyers and their agents
- Helps instill confidence in potential buyers since you have written proof of your property’s value
- Highlights upfront any obvious repair problems which helps eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay closing
- Decreases the chances of sales falling through due to unforeseen problems
Keep in mind that overpriced properties attract far fewer buyers, which means fewer and possibly no offers, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts while an underpriced property can result in a lower selling price and you leaving substantial money on the table.
Getting a pre-listing appraisal will help you and/or your realtor determine a true list price for your property as well as maximize your chances of selling quickly for expert dollar. In addition, we can help you determine what, if any, improvements would be the most cost effective in adding additional value to your property.
A full appraisal may or may not be needed depending on what it is you’re looking for. Often times a more limited valuation or market analysis report is entirely appropriate, whereas other times a full interior and exterior valuation may be necessary.
