Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact EAC Real Estate Ventures & Appraisals

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

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, 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 estimated value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract interested buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home sits 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 sitting still on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get an exact listing price for your home in today's ever-changing market.

Are you working with an agent to list your house? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes selected sale homes in your area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market, this is a really important step.

Even if you've been working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's 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 can do a pre-listing appraisal so both 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.

A skillful appraisal from EAC Real Estate Ventures & Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will appeal to buyers, and we'll also:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have found an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your house's shape inside and out to impress potential buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Reduce chances of unexpected difficulties that can cause your sale to deteriorate
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

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 EAC Real Estate Ventures & Appraisals can help with that.
