Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Deer Creek Appraisals

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your property, more than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes similar sales houses in your town. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a really important step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your 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 real estate agent.

And that's where Deer Creek Appraisals 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.


	In today's changing market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a just listing price for your home. Contact us today.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them 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 realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract serious buyers, which means you squander time and (not to mention) 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.

Home improvements that add value

There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and Deer Creek Appraisals can help with that. Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it... Is now the time to add a deck... Do I need to finish my closet remodel... Practically any project will affect value in some way. But each thing affects value differently. 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.

We'll step in and help make these decisions. Deer Creek Appraisals appraisers have no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. An appraisal fee from Deer Creek Appraisals is based on our efforts to finalize the report, and are not a percentage of the sales price. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Deer Creek Appraisals. When it comes to investing in your home and deciding on a fair sales price, we'll help homeowners like you make the wisest decisions.
