Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Horewitz Valuation Services

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

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Horewitz Valuation Services actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value and an appraisal helped them 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. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

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

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your house, more than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays competing sales in your town. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This step is vital if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market.

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

And that's where Horewitz Valuation Services comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

Horewitz Valuation Services can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will appeal to buyers, and we can also:

Be a valuable negotiating tool once you have found an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your home's quality inside and out to blow away potential buyers
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Reduce chances of unexpected complications that can cause sales to flop
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through.

Home improvements that add value

Horewitz Valuation Services can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet 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. Remodeling your kitchen might improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out the costs involved before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.
