Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact BK Appraisal Services

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

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 an appraisal from BK Appraisal Services actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's estimated value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract 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 sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

With today's adapting market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get an exact listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to sell your home? Quite often they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays a list of sale homes in your area. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to minimize the house's time on the market and maximize your profit.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign the Listing Agreement, even if you have been working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where BK Appraisal Services comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate 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".

A professional appraisal from BK Appraisal Services can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will appeal to buyers, and we'll also:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you have a potential buyer
Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing
Decrease the chances of unknown predicaments that cause negotiations to flop
