Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact 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 a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is sitting still on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a correct listing price for your home in today's ever-changing market.

Are you working with an agent to sell your home? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes competing homes for sale in your area. It's a customary 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 standard move.

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

And that's where Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

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

  • Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you find an interested buyer
  • Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's quality inside and out
  • Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems
  • Cut down the chances of unknown obstacles that can cause your sale to break down
  • Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

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 property. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete 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 the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation can help you with these decisions. Appraisers don't have any vested interest in your final selling price, like an agent do. Our fees are based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
