Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from The August Group Inc.

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

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from The August Group Inc. actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's estimated value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract interested buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. 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 house sits on the market.

With today's adapting market conditions, you should definitely hire a licensed appraiser to get a just listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to sell your house? Quite often they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes a list of sales in your town. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a logical process.

But even if you've hired the most accomplished real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

That's where we come in! We can 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.

We're also experienced in assisting you with setting a realistic price to sell so your house will draw in buyers. A qualified appraisal from The August Group Inc. can:

  • Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have found an interested buyer
  • Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your house's quality inside and out
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
  • Decrease the chances of unexpected complications that cause negotiations to flop
  • Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value to your home

The August Group Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Questions like "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the expenses involved.

Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
