Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Premier Appraisal Services of Tallahassee, 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 a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in an appraisal from Premier Appraisal Services of Tallahassee, LLC actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's price value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

In today's changing market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get an accurate listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your property, then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays comparable sales in your local area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This is a crucial step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

But even if you have hired an expert real estate agent , it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

That's where we come in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

An accurate appraisal from Premier Appraisal Services of Tallahassee, LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will appeal to buyers, and we'll also:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you find a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your home's state inside and out to blow away potential buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing
Cut down the chances of unexpected predicaments that can cause your sale to break down
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through.

Home improvements that add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Questions like "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the expenses involved.

We'll step in and help make these important decisions. Appraisers don't have any vested interest in your final selling price, like an agent do. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price. An appraisal fee from Premier Appraisal Services of Tallahassee, LLC is based on our efforts to complete the report, and are not a percentage of the sales price.
