Pre-Listing 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.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is so different than what they thought, so investing in an appraisal from K1 Appraisal Services actually allowed them to price their home within a reasonable range, where they could shoot for highest possible dollar within a short period of time. An overpriced home will not attract interested buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts.

Hiring a Licensed Certified Residential Appraiser is the number one step one should take before marketing their home.

Are you working with an agent to list your property? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays competing sales houses in your local area. It's a good starting point when deciding 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 standard process.

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

That's where K1 Appraisal Services comes in! We'll 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.

In addition to assisting you with setting a realistic selling price so your home will interest buyers. A qualified appraisal from K1 Appraisal Services can:

  • Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have a potential buyer
  • Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's quality inside and out
  • Decrease the chances of unknown disputes that cause negotiations to crumble
  • Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Improvements to add value

There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and K1 Appraisal Services can help. Ask yourself "Would it be better to 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. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

Need help making some of these important decisions?  K1 Appraisal Services has no vested interest in what amount the home sells for, unlike an agent. Our fees are based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
