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 house is a lot more than they'd 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 property won't attract serious potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. 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 sits on the market.

In today's changing market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a proper listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your house? Quite often they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes a list of homes for sale in your area. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a really important (and very common) step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

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

And that's where Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both 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 entice potential buyers, and we can also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have found an interested buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Reduce chances of unexpected dilemmas that can cause your sale to deteriorate
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements that add value to your home

Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to 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 kitchen 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 your home's appeal, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

We'll step in and help you make these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
