Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Baybrooke Appraisal

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 list your home, more than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays a list of sales houses in your local area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market, this is a vital step.

Even if you've been working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's in your best interest to also have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

That's where Baybrooke Appraisal comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Hiring a certified appraiser is the top way to get a sharp listing price for your home in today's fluctuating market. Contact us today.

Baybrooke Appraisal can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will interest buyers, and we can also:
  • Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have found a potential buyer
  • Wow potential buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
  • Make yourself aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
  • Reduce chances of unknown complications that can cause your sale to fold
  • Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through
Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal 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 price value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious buyers, which means you squander time and (not to mention) money and still have no prospects for buying your home. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

Improvements to add value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Is now the time to add a deck... Should I complete my kitchen remodel... Practically any project has the potential to influence value in some way. But not everything will have the same bang for the buck. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the costs you'd pay.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. Appraisers don't have any vested interest in your final selling price, like a real estate agent on commission will. An appraisal fee from Baybrooke Appraisal is based on our efforts to complete your report, and are not a percentage of your home's sale price. A professional appraisal from Baybrooke Appraisal helps homeowners make the sharpest decisions on investments to add value and deciding on a profit-maximizing price at which to sell.
