Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Herrenbruck Appraisals, LLC

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 more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Herrenbruck Appraisals, LLC actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house will not attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely considering hiring a licensed appraiser to get an expert listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your property, more than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes comparable sale homes in your local area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your home's time on the market, this is a really important step.

Even if you are working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before signing a Listing Agreement.

And that's where Herrenbruck Appraisals, LLC can help you! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

Home improvements that add value

Herrenbruck Appraisals, LLC can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. You should ask yourself 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 complete my closet remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can affect their value. Unfortunately, not all of them 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 your expenses.
