Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Turner Consulting and Evaluation

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 an agent to sell your home? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays selected sale homes in your area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize your home's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a crucial step.

Even if you've hired the most experienced agent, it's in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Turner Consulting and Evaluation comes in! We can perform 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".


	With today's fluctuating market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get a proper listing price for your home. Contact us today.

Turner Consulting and Evaluation can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in potential buyers, and we can also:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have found a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your house's state inside and out to blow away buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make yourself aware of problems that might delay a closing
Reduce chances of unknown disputes that can cause sales to crumble
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from Turner Consulting and Evaluation actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an over-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 do not attract serious potential buyers, which means you waste time and money and are left with no prospects for buying your home. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

Improvements that add value to your home

There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and Turner Consulting and Evaluation can help with that. Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it... Does the carpet need replacing... Should I finish my closet remodel... Virtually any project will affect value in some way. But each thing affects value differently. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Appraisers don't have any vested interest in your final selling price, like a real estate agent on commission will. Our fees are not a percentage of the sales price -- our fees are based on efforts to finalize the report. When it comes to investing in your house and deciding on a fair sale price, a professional appraisal from Turner Consulting and Evaluation helps homeowners make the wisest decisions.
