Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact On the Mark Appraisals

If you're working with an agent to list your house, then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays similar sale homes in your area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is vital if you're going to minimize your house's time on the market and maximize your profit.

However, it's also advantageous to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before signing a Listing Agreement, even if you've been working with an experienced agent.

That's where On the Mark Appraisals comes in! We'll do 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.

A skillful appraisal from On the Mark Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will charm potential buyers, and we'll also:

• Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have found a potential buyer
• Wow potential buyers with written proof of your home's shape inside and out
• Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
• Reduce chances of unexpected issues that can cause your sale to crumble
• Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Questions like "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

We'll help you make some of these decisions. On the Mark Appraisals appraisers have no vested interest in the amount your home sells for, unlike an agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
