Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact ERA Geyer Noakes Realty Group

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your home, then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes competing sales in your area. It's a good starting point in deciding 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 standard move.

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

That's where ERA Geyer Noakes Realty Group comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your 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 fluctuating market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a true listing price for your home. Contact us today.

  • Eliminate last-minute repair hassles

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 an appraisal from ERA Geyer Noakes Realty Group actually allowed these people 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 decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home will not attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

Improvements to add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it... Does the tile need replacing... Should I complete my kitchen remodel... Nearly any project can affect value in some way. Unfortunately, not all of them have an impact commensurate with their cost. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out your expenses before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

ERA Geyer Noakes Realty Group can help you with these decisions. Unlike an agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price. When it comes to investing in your house and deciding on a fair price to sell at, a professional appraisal from ERA Geyer Noakes Realty Group will help homeowners make the wisest decisions.
