Need a pre-listing appraisal?

Are you working with an agent to sell your home? Quite often they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes comparable sales in your area.

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

Let us help! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your homes features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales.

A polished appraisal from SCP Appraisal Service can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your home will entice buyers. An appraisal will also:

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you have found a prospective buyer
Impress potential buyers with written proof of your home's quality and condition
Make yourself aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles

Investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps sellers who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's value to gain a realistic perspective on its potential sales price. Overpriced listings don't attract serious buyers, which means fewer offers and little to no activity which is a waste of valuable time, money, and efforts.

Improvements to add value

There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and SCP Appraisal Service can help with that. Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it... Does the fence need replacing... Should I complete my closet remodel... Almost any project can influence value in some way. But not everything will have the same impact on the bottom line. Remodeling your kitchen may improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out the costs involved before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

We'll step in and help you make these decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Our fees are not a percentage of the sales price -- our fees are based on efforts to complete your report. When it comes to investing in your home and settling on a fair sales price, a professional appraisal from SCP Appraisal Service will help you make a more informed decision.
