Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Salvatore & Associates Inc.

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 house, more than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays competing sales in your town. It's a good starting point in 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 natural process.

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

Using a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get an exact listing price for your home in today's changing market. Contact us today.

A polished appraisal from Salvatore & Associates Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice buyers, and we'll also:
  • Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have found a potential buyer
  • Wow potential buyers with written proof of your home's quality inside and out
  • Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
  • Reduce chances of unknown problems that can cause your sale to crumble
  • Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten
A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's amount of value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract potential buyers, which means you waste time and money and still have no prospects for buying your home. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

Improvements to add value

Salvatore & Associates Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Should I complete my kitchen remodel... Virtually any project can affect value in some way. But not everything will have the same bang for the buck. Remodeling your kitchen may improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out the expenses involved before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

Salvatore & Associates Inc. can help you with these important decisions. Salvatore & Associates Inc. appraisers have no vested interest in what amount your house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our fees are not a percentage of the sales price -- our fees are based on efforts to complete the report. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Salvatore & Associates Inc.. When it comes to investing in your house and deciding on a fair sales price, we'll help you make the smartest decisions.
