Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Venture 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. Working with a real estate agent to list your property? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes competing sales in your local area. It's a good starting point when determining 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 crucial step.

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

That's where we come in! We'll 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 today's evolving market, using a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get a skillful listing price for your home. Contact us today.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in an appraisal from Venture Appraisal, Inc. actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious potential buyers, which means you squander time and money and still have no prospects for buying your home. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage.

Improvements to add value

Venture Appraisal, Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. Should we paint the entire house before we sell it... Should I put in that new bathroom... Should I finish my kitchen remodel... Practically any project can affect value in some way. Unfortunately, not all of them have an effect commensurate with their cost. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Our fees are not a percentage of the sales price -- our fees are based on efforts to complete your report. So a professional appraisal from Venture Appraisal, Inc. helps homeowners like you make the best-informed decisions when it comes to investments to add value and setting a fair listing price.
