Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Integrated Assets

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 home is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will 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 the mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

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

If you're working with an agent to list your home, then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes a list of sale homes in your town. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a vital step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

In our opinion, though, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from someone who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - BEFORE listing your house - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

And that's where Integrated Assets comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

Integrated Assets can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice buyers, and we can also:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your home's quality inside and out to impress buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems
Reduce chances of unexpected dilemmas that can cause your sale to deteriorate
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Home improvements that add value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your property. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to 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 everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. Integrated Assets appraisers have no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
