Pre-Listing & FSBO Appraisals
Whether you’re working with an agent or selling it yourself, starting with an accurate value is crucial.
Pre-Listing & FSBO Appraisals
A pre-listing appraisal gives sellers and their agents an accurate, detailed description of the home’s features along with a professional comparable sales (“comps”) analysis.
- Valuable Negotiating Tool: Provides objective proof of your home's value to potential buyers.
- Proof of Condition: Documents the current condition of the property for buyers.
- Surface Issues Early: Identifies potential repair issues before they can delay a closing.
- Reduce Risk: Lowers the chance of deals falling through due to appraisal contingencies.
- Save Time: Avoid waiting weeks for the buyer's lender-ordered appraisal to come back.
For Sale By Owner (FSBO) Advice
Selling your home without an agent can save you the typical 5-7% commission fee, but it requires doing your homework. The most important piece of advice? Don’t overprice.
Homeowners are naturally emotionally attached to their properties, which can cloud judgment on value. An objective, third-party appraiser provides an unbiased valuation based solely on market data.
Even if you have a great real estate agent who has provided a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), getting an independent third-party appraisal before signing a listing agreement provides invaluable peace of mind.
