Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Tim Spaulding & Associates

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 home, then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes selected sales houses in your town. It's a good 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 standard process.

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

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.

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

We're also experienced in assisting you with setting a realistic selling price so your house will intrigue buyers, an expert appraisal from Tim Spaulding & Associates can:
  • Help provide advice when negotiating once you have found a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's quality inside and out
  • Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make yourself aware of problems
  • Cut down the chances of unknown dilemmas that can cause sales to fall through
  • Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through
So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they'd planned, 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. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract potential buyers, which means you throw away time and (not to mention) money and still have no offers. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and Tim Spaulding & Associates can help with that. Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it... Would it help to put in that third bathroom... Should I finish my kitchen remodel... Practically any project has the potential to influence value in some way. But each thing affects marketability differently. Remodeling your kitchen might improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out the costs involved before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

Tim Spaulding & Associates can help you with these important decisions. Appraisers have no vested interest in your final selling price, like an agent on commission will. Our fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price. A professional appraisal from Tim Spaulding & Associates will help you make the decisions when it comes to investments to add value and deciding on a smart sales price.
