Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Zion Realty Services, Inc

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

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 a professional appraisal 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. Overpriced homes will not attract serious potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

In today's ever-changing market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a proper listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your house, then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes competing homes for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a really important step if your intentions are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

But even if you're working with an expert real estate agent , it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before signing a Listing Agreement.

That's where Zion Realty Services, Inc comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Improvements that add value to your home

Zion Realty Services, Inc can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my closet remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.
