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.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don'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 the mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is sitting still on the market.

With today's adapting market conditions, you should definitely hire a licensed appraiser to get a solid listing price for your home.

Working with an agent to sell your house? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays selected sale homes in your town. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is vital if you're going to minimize the home's time on the market and maximize your profit.

In our opinion, however, you might also wish to consider an appraisal from a professional who tracks real estate values for living - PRIOR to putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

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

An efficient appraisal from Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers, and we'll also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have found a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing
Cut down the chances of unexpected issues that can cause your sale to flop
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the outside of the 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. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation appraisers have no vested interest in what amount the home sells for, unlike an agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
