Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Abatelli Appraisal Service

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. Are you working with an agent to sell your house? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays a list of sale homes in your local area. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a crucial (and very logical) step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

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

And that's where Abatelli Appraisal Service comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

With today's fluctuating market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get a correct listing price for your home. Contact us today.

A qualified appraisal from Abatelli Appraisal Service can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will appeal to potential buyers, and we'll also:
  • Be a an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you have found a potential buyer
  • Provide written proof of your house's state inside and out to blow away buyers
  • Make yourself aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
  • Decrease the chances of unexpected dilemmas that cause the process to crumble
  • Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close
A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them 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 decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract interested buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

Improvements that add value to your home

There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and Abatelli Appraisal Service can help with that. Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it... Does the fence need replacing... Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel... Almost any project can influence value in some way. But each thing impacts marketability differently. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

We can 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 fees are not a percentage of the sales price -- your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize the report. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Abatelli Appraisal Service. When it comes to investing in your home and deciding on a fair sale price, we'll help homeowners make the wisest decisions.
