Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Scaturro 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.

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property won't attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

With today's evolving market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get a fair listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to sell your house, more than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays selected homes for sale in your area. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a vital (and very logical) step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

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

And that's where Scaturro Appraisals, LLC. comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your 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 helping you set a realistic price to sell so your home will draw in buyers. An efficient appraisal from Scaturro Appraisals, LLC. can:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you have an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your home's quality inside and out to impress buyers

Home improvements that add value

Scaturro Appraisals, LLC. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Ask yourself "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out the costs involved before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.
