Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Sun Point 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.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from Sun Point Appraisals, Inc. actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth much 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. 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 sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

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

Are you working with an agent to sell your property? Quite often they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes similar sales houses in your area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize your house's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a really important step.

However, it's also advantageous to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before signing the Listing Agreement, even if you're working with the most experienced agent.

And that's where Sun Point Appraisals, Inc. can help you! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Sun Point Appraisals, Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in potential buyers, and we can also:

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you find a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your home's state inside and out to blow away buyers

Home improvements that add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the costs you'd pay.
