Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact (208) 782-0233

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 a professional appraisal actually allowed these people 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 amount of value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract 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 the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is sitting still on the market.

In today's evolving market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a sharp listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your house? Then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes selected sale homes in your area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a vital (and very logical) step if your interests are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

In our opinion, though, you should also get an appraisal from a professional who tracks real estate values for living - BEFORE listing your home - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where (208) 782-0233 comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so both 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".

Improvements that add value to your home

(208) 782-0233 can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
