Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Simpson Real Estate Appraisals, LLC

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

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from Simpson Real Estate Appraisals, LLC actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's estimated value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract potential 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 you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

In today's fluctuating market, using a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a proper 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 (CMA) that includes similar houses for sale in your area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market.

But even if you're working with an accomplished agent , it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before you sign the Listing Agreement.

That's where we come in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

Simpson Real Estate Appraisals, LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will charm buyers, and we can also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have an interested buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing
Decrease the chances of unexpected disputes that cause negotiations to break down
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your house. 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 closet remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the costs you'd pay.

Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
