Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Florida East Coast Appraisers, LLC

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 property, then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays selected houses for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This is a really important step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

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

And that's where Florida East Coast Appraisers, LLC comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

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

Florida East Coast Appraisers, LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers, and we can also:
  • Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have a potential buyer
  • Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's quality inside and out
  • Make yourself aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
  • Cut down the chances of unknown predicaments that can cause your sale to fizzle
  • Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through
A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property won't 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 on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage.

Improvements that add value to your home

There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. Should we paint the entire house before we sell it... Should I complete my kitchen remodel... Virtually any project has the potential to affect value in some way. But, not all of them have an impact commensurate with their cost. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Our fees are not a percentage of the sales price -- our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize your report. A professional appraisal from Florida East Coast Appraisers, LLC will help homeowners like you make the wisest decisions when it comes to investments to add value and settling on a profit-maximizing listing price.
