Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Shamrock Appraisals, Inc.

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 from us actually allowed these sellers 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 estimated value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract serious 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. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

In today's adapting market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a solid listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to list your house, more than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes comparable sales houses in your area. It's a customary starting point in determining 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 logical process.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before you sign a Listing Agreement, even if you have hired an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where Shamrock Appraisals, Inc. comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

We're also experienced in helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers. A polished appraisal from Shamrock Appraisals, Inc. can:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you find an interested buyer
Impress potential buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing

Improvements to add value

Shamrock Appraisals, Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole 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 have an effect on their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.
