Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Metric Appraisals, 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 house is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. 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 don't attract serious 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 on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting 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.

Working with a real estate agent to list your property? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes selected sale homes in your area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This is a vital step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

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

That's where Metric Appraisals, LLC comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

We're also experienced in helping you set a realistic price to sell so your house will interest buyers. An expert appraisal from Metric Appraisals, LLC can:

  • Help provide advice when negotiating once you find a potential buyer
  • Impress potential buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
  • Decrease the chances of unknown messes that cause negotiations to flop
  • Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Improvements to add value to your home

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your home. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Should I 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. Remodeling your kitchen may improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.

We'll help you make some of these decisions. Metric Appraisals, LLC appraisers have no vested interest in what amount your house sells for, unlike an agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
