Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Magee Appraisal Service

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

Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your home? Quite often you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes a list of houses for sale in your local 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 logical move.

But even if you've been working with an experienced agent, it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

And that's where Magee Appraisal Service comes in! 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 house's features.


	In today's changing market, using a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a sharp listing price for your home. Contact us today.

Magee Appraisal Service can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will interest potential buyers, and we can also:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have a potential buyer
Impress potential buyers with written proof of your house's quality inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Cut down the chances of unexpected dilemmas that can cause sales to flop
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close

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 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. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's price value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

Home improvements that add value

There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and Magee Appraisal Service can help with that. Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it... Do I need to complete my closet remodel... Practically any project has the potential to affect value in some way. But, not all of them have an effect commensurate with their cost. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. Magee Appraisal Service appraisers have no vested interest in the amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete 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 Magee Appraisal Service helps you make the wisest decisions.
