Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Steyskal Home 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 home is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's estimated value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house sits 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.

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

Are you working with an agent to sell your home? Then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays comparable sale homes in your area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a really important step if your interests are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

Even if you've been working with the most experienced agent, it's in your best interest to also have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

That's where we come 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 home's features.

A professional appraisal from Steyskal Home Appraisal LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice buyers, and we'll also:

Be a valuable negotiating tool once you have found a potential buyer
Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Cut down the chances of unknown problems that can cause your sale to fizzle
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Improvements to add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be other equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new 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 everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the expenses involved.
