Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Brent Turney Inc.

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 much more than they had planned, so investing in an appraisal from Brent Turney Inc. actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property won't attract interested buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

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

If you're working with an agent to sell your home, more than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes a list of houses for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a crucial (and very logical) step if your intentions are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

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

That's where Brent Turney Inc. comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers. A qualified appraisal from Brent Turney Inc. can:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your home's condition inside and out to blow away potential buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems
Reduce chances of unexpected quandaries that can cause your sale to fizzle
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other equally important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I complete my kitchen remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.
