Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Gold Coast Appraisal Group LLC

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 home is much more than they had planned, 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. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home will not attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still 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 is sitting still on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get a solid listing price for your home in today's changing market.

Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your house? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes selected homes for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point when 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 standard move.

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

That's where Gold Coast Appraisal Group LLC comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

A knowledgeable appraisal from Gold Coast Appraisal Group LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in potential buyers, and we'll also:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you find an interested buyer
Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's quality inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Decrease the chances of unexpected difficulties that cause negotiations to fall through
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

Gold Coast Appraisal Group LLC can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Ask yourself "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can affect 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.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. Gold Coast Appraisal Group LLC appraisers have no vested interest in what amount the home sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
