Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Mark Revak 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 an agent to sell your property? Then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays selected sales in your area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market.

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

That's where we come in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

With today's ever-changing market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get a factual listing price for your home. Contact us today.

A skillful appraisal from Mark Revak Inc can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will intrigue buyers, and we'll also:
  • Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have found a an interested buyer
  • Provide written proof of your home's condition inside and out to impress buyers
  • Make yourself aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
  • Decrease the chances of unexpected difficulties that cause negotiations to fizzle
  • Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close
A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house 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. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price 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. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

Improvements that add value to your home

Mark Revak Inc can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. Should we paint the entire house before we sell it... Does the fence need replacing... Do I need to complete my closet remodel... Practically any project can influence value in some way. But each thing affects value differently. Remodeling your kitchen might improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out your expenses before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. Unlike a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Our fees are not a percentage of your home's sale price -- your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize the report. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Mark Revak Inc. When it comes to investing in your home and settling on a fair price to sell at, we'll help homeowners like you make the best decisions.
