Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Turner and Gerwitz 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. Working with an agent to sell your property? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes a list of sales houses in your town. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market, this is a really important step.

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

That's where Turner and Gerwitz Appraisals, LLC comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Using a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get a factual listing price for your home in today's evolving market. Contact us today.

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 actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's estimated value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property won't attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

Home improvements that add value

Turner and Gerwitz Appraisals, LLC can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. 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 kitchen remodel... Nearly any project will influence value in some way. But not everything will have the same bang for the buck. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the costs you'd pay.

We can step in and help make these decisions. Appraisers have no vested interest in your final selling price, like an agent on commission will. An appraisal fee from Turner and Gerwitz Appraisals, LLC is based on our efforts to complete the report, and are not a percentage of your home's sale price. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Turner and Gerwitz Appraisals, LLC. When it comes to investing in your house and setting a fair sales price, we'll help homeowners make the wisest decisions.
