Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Iman Appraisals, Inc.

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

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from Iman Appraisals, Inc. actually allowed these sellers 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 realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

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

Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your home? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays selected sales in your area. It's a good starting point in determining 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 standard process.

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've been working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where we come in! We can perform 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".

An efficient appraisal from Iman Appraisals, Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will intrigue buyers, and we'll also:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have an interested buyer
Wow potential buyers with written proof of your house's condition inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Cut down the chances of unexpected obstacles that can cause sales to fall through
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. Questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
