Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Perdue Properties, LLC

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 much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

With today's ever-changing market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get a proper listing price for your home.

Working with a real estate agent to list your house? Then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes similar homes for sale in your town. It's a good starting point in deciding 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 logical move.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign the Listing Agreement, even if you have been working with the most experienced agent.

And that's where Perdue Properties, LLC comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will interest potential buyers. A knowledgeable appraisal from Perdue Properties, LLC can:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you find a prospective buyer
Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Reduce chances of unknown difficulties that can cause sales to go up in smoke
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements that add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be other important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
