Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation

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 house is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's amount of value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

In today's changing market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the best way to get an exact listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to sell your property, more than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays selected homes for sale in your area. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the house's time on the market, this is a crucial step.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing the Listing Agreement, even if you've hired the most experienced agent.

And that's where Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

A polished appraisal from Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers, and we'll also:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you find a prospective buyer
Impress potential buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out

Cut down the chances of unknown messes that can cause your sale to break down
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements that add value to your home

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your house. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the costs you'd pay.

We'll step in and help you make these decisions. Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation appraisers have no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent.
