Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact CAA Real Property Services.

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

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they had planned, so investing in an appraisal from CAA Real Property Services actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

In today's adapting market, using a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a correct listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to list your property? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes selected sales in your area. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a standard process.

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

And that's where CAA Real Property Services comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you find a prospective buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your home's shape inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
