Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Azar Appraisal Services

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 house is a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from Azar Appraisal Services 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 much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a skillful listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your property? Quite often you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays selected homes for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a natural process.

But even if you have hired an accomplished agent , it's in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign the Listing Agreement.

That's where we come in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

A polished appraisal from Azar Appraisal Services can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in buyers, and we'll also:

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you have found an interested buyer
Wow potential buyers with written proof of your house's shape inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems
Cut down the chances of unexpected difficulties that can cause sales to fall through
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close.

Home improvements that add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to finish 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. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

We can step in and help you make these decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
