Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Scheller and 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.

Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your house? Quite often they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays comparable houses for sale in your town. It's a good starting point when 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 standard move.

Even if you've been working with an expert agent, it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign the Listing Agreement.

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


	In today's evolving market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a proper listing price for your home. Contact us today.

A knowledgeable appraisal from Scheller and Associates, Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers, and we'll also:

Be a an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's shape inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make yourself aware of problems
Reduce chances of unknown difficulties that can cause sales to fall through
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's amount of value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract potential buyers, which means you throw away time and money and still have no offers. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage.

Home improvements that add value

There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and Scheller and Associates, Inc. can help with that. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Does the carpet need replacing... Should I finish my closet remodel... Almost any project can influence value in some way. But, not all of them have an impact commensurate with their cost. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the costs you'd pay.

We'll step in and help you make these decisions. Scheller and Associates, Inc. appraisers have no vested interest in what amount your house sells for, unlike an agent. Our fees are based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price. When it comes to investing in your house and settling on a fair price to sell at, a professional appraisal from Scheller and Associates, Inc. helps you make the decisions.
