Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Blue Heron Appraisal Services

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 an agent to list your house? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes similar homes for sale in your area. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get the most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a natural process.

Even if you've hired the most experienced agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign a Listing Agreement.

That's where Blue Heron Appraisal Services comes in! We can perform 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 house's features.

Using a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a factual listing price for your home in today's evolving market. Contact us today.

A polished appraisal from Blue Heron Appraisal Services can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will draw in buyers.
 A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in an appraisal from Blue Heron Appraisal Services actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's price value 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 waste time and (not to mention) money and are left with no offers. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

Improvements to add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other equally important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Should we 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... Practically any project has the potential to influence value in some way. But each thing impacts marketability differently.

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