Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from ADB Properties, Inc..

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 they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes similar homes for sale in your area. It's a customary starting point in determining 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 natural process.

In our opinion, though, you should also get a pre-listing appraisal from a professional who tracks real estate values for living - PRIOR to putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

That's where we come in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely considering hiring a licensed appraiser to get a factual listing price for your home. Contact us today.

An efficient appraisal from ADB Properties, Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers, and we'll also:
  • Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your house's quality inside and out
  • Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make yourself aware of problems
  • Cut down the chances of unknown quandaries that can cause your sale to flop
  • Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten
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 these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract potential buyers, which means you throw away time and money and still have no prospects for buying your home. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it... Should I put in that new bathroom... Should I finish my closet remodel... Almost any project will influence value in some way. But not everything will have the same bang for the buck. Remodeling your kitchen might improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out your expenses before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.

ADB Properties, Inc. can help you with these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Our fees are not a percentage of the sales price -- our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize the report. A professional appraisal from ADB Properties, Inc. helps you make the wisest decisions when it comes to investments to add value and setting a fair listing price.
