Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact EDI Appraisals, Inc.

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

So many people are blown away 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. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

With today's fluctuating market conditions, you should definitely hire a licensed appraiser to get an exact listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to sell your property, then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes a list of homes for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a natural process.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before signing the Listing Agreement, even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where EDI Appraisals, Inc. can help you! We can 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.

Improvements to add value to your home

There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and EDI Appraisals, Inc. can help with that. Questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect.
