Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Ab2, Inc.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. Working with a real estate agent to sell your house? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes selected sales in your town. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market, this is a crucial step.

However, it's also advantageous to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement, even if you've hired an experienced agent.

And that's where Ab2, Inc. comes in! We can do 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.

Using a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get an exact listing price for your home in today's adapting market. Contact us today.

Ab2, Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will interest buyers, and we can also:
  • Provide tips to help you negotiate once you find a an interested buyer
  • Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
  • Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
  • Reduce chances of unexpected quandaries that can cause your sale to fizzle
  • Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten
So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-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. An overpriced house will not attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

Improvements to add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it... Should I put in that new bathroom... Do I need to complete my closet remodel... Virtually any project can affect value in some way. But not everything will have the same return on investment. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.

We'll step in and help make these decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price. When it comes to investing in your home and deciding on a fair price to sell at, a professional appraisal from Ab2, Inc. will help homeowners make the decisions.
