Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Bain & Associates, Inc. Real Estate Appraisers

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your house, then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays similar sales houses in your area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize the house's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a vital step.

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

That's where we come in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.


	In today's adapting market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a skillful listing price for your home. Contact us today.

A qualified appraisal from Bain & Associates, Inc. Real Estate Appraisers can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in buyers, and we'll also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have found a potential buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Reduce chances of unknown difficulties that can cause sales to go up in smoke
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they'd planned, 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. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious buyers, which means you waste time and (not to mention) money and are left with no prospects for buying your home. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it... Should I put in that third bathroom... Should I finish my kitchen remodel... Virtually any project has the potential to influence value in some way. But each thing impacts value differently. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out the costs involved before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

Bain & Associates, Inc. can help you with these decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our fees are not a percentage of the sales price -- our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize the report. A professional appraisal from Bain & Associates, Inc. Real Estate Appraisers will help you make the best decisions on investments to add value and deciding on a smart price at which to sell.
