Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Equity 1st Realty Llc.

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 much more than they thought, 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. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's price value to decide on a realistic price for 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. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home 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.

Working with an agent to list your home? Then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes a list of sales houses in your local area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is really important 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 real estate agent, it's in your best interest to also have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

And that's where Equity 1st Realty Llc comes in! We can perform 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.

An efficient appraisal from Equity 1st Realty Llc can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will appeal to potential buyers, and we'll also:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you find a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your house's state inside and out to wow potential buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
Reduce chances of unknown messes that can cause sales to crumble
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Home improvements that add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to complete 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 might improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the expenses involved.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Equity 1st Realty Llc appraisers have no vested interest in what amount your house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
