Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Dattilo Appraisal & Realty Services

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 An agent to list your home, then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays comparable sale homes in your local area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This step is vital if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market.

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

And that's where Dattilo Appraisal & Realty Services comes in! We'll do 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".

Using a licensed appraiser is the top way to get an exact listing price for your home in today's adapting market. Contact us today.

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's estimated value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage.

Improvements that add value to your home

There are so many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Should we paint the entire house before we sell it... Is now the time to add a deck... Should I finish my closet remodel... Almost any project has the potential to affect value in some way. But not everything will have the same return on investment. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Unlike an agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. An appraisal fee from Dattilo Appraisal & Realty Services is based on our efforts to finalize your report, and are not a percentage of your home's sale price. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Dattilo Appraisal & Realty Services. When it comes to investing in your home and setting a fair sale price, we'll help homeowners make the sharpest decisions.
