Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Don C. Box and Associates

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

Working with a real estate agent to list your property? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays comparable sales houses in your local area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to minimize your home's time on the market and maximize your profit.

In our opinion, however, you might also wish to consider an appraisal from a licensed professional who tracks real estate values for living - PRIOR to listing your property - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where Don C. Box and Associates comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Don C. Box and Associates actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious buyers, which means you squander time and money and still have no prospects for buying your home. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it... Should I complete my kitchen remodel... Almost any project will influence value in some way. But not everything will have the same bang for the buck. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

Our fees are not a percentage of the sales price -- our fees are based on efforts to finalize the report.
