Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Metropolis Appraisal Inc

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

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they had planned, 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. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. 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 house sits on the market.

In today's adapting market, using a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a skillful listing price for your home.

Working with an agent to sell your home? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays a list of homes for sale in your town. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a vital step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

In our opinion, though, you should also get an appraisal from someone who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - BEFORE listing your property - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where Metropolis Appraisal Inc comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

We're also experienced in helping you decide on a realistic price to sell so your home will interest buyers. A knowledgeable appraisal from Metropolis Appraisal Inc can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
Wow potential buyers with written proof of your home's quality inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Reduce chances of unknown issues that can cause sales to go up in smoke

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your property. Ask yourself "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the expenses involved.
