Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Moody Appraisal Group, Inc.

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 sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a proper listing price for your home in today's fluctuating market.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your home? More than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays selected sales houses in your town. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to minimize the house's time on the market and maximize your profit.

Even if you've been working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign a Listing Agreement.

And that's where Moody Appraisal Group, Inc. comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Moody Appraisal Group, Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will interest potential buyers, and we can also:

  • Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you find a prospective buyer
  • Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
  • Cut down the chances of unknown disputes that can cause your sale to break down
  • Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your house. Questions like "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

Moody Appraisal Group, Inc. can help you with these decisions. Appraisers don't have any vested interest in your final selling price, like an agent do. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
