Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from REVARI (Real Estate Valuation and Research 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 home is much more than they thought, 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 home sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious potential 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 the mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

In today's changing market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get a factual listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to sell your house, more than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays a list of homes for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market.

Even if you're working with the most accomplished agent, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

And that's where REVARI (Real Estate Valuation and Research Inc.) can help you! We can perform 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".

In addition to helping you decide on a realistic price to sell so your house will charm buyers. A skillful appraisal from REVARI (Real Estate Valuation and Research Inc.) can:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have found an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your house's condition inside and out to blow away potential buyers

Home improvements that add value

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your house. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen might improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out the costs involved before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

We'll help you make some of these decisions. REVARI (Real Estate Valuation and Research Inc.) appraisers have no vested interest in the amount the home sells for, unlike an agent.
