Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Scott Appraisal 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 a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from Scott Appraisal LLC 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 realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a proper listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your home, then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes similar sales houses in your local area. 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.

In our opinion, though, you should also get an 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 we come in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

We're also experienced in helping you set a realistic price to sell so your home will entice potential buyers. A knowledgeable appraisal from Scott Appraisal LLC can:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have found a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your house's shape inside and out to impress potential buyers
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Cut down the chances of unknown messes that can cause your sale to deteriorate
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Home improvements that add value

Scott Appraisal LLC can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Ask yourself "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

We'll help you make some of these decisions. Scott Appraisal LLC appraisers have no vested interest in the amount your house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price. An appraisal fee from Scott Appraisal LLC is based on our efforts to complete the report, and are not a percentage of your home's sale price.
