Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from New Jersey Real Estate Appraisal Group

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 house is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us 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 decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract potential 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 sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

In today's evolving market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a just listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to list your house? Quite often they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays competing sales houses in your local area. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize your house's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a crucial step.

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