Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Ulrich 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.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

With today's adapting market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get a proper listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to list your house? Then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes selected houses for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before signing the Listing Agreement, even if you've hired an experienced agent.

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

We're also experienced in helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will charm potential buyers. An expert appraisal from Ulrich Appraisals LLC can:

  • Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have found a prospective buyer
  • Blow away buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
  • Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
  • Reduce chances of unexpected difficulties that can cause your sale to fall through
  • Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your property. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to 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 have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen might improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out your expenses before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.

Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
