Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation

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 much more than they had planned, 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. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home will not attract serious 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 its mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a skillful listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

Are you working with an agent to sell your home? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes comparable houses for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a natural process.

Even if you're working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion of value before you sign a Listing Agreement.

That's where we come in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will draw in buyers, and we can also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your house's quality inside and out to impress buyers
Make you aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Reduce chances of unknown messes that can cause your sale to fizzle
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Improvements that add value to your home

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your house. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation will step in and help make these decisions. Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation appraisers have no vested interest in what amount the home sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
