Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Accelerated Appraisal Services.

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

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of 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 serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

In today's ever-changing market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the top way to get an accurate listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to sell your house? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes a list of sale homes in your local area. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a really important (and very common) step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

Even if you have hired an experienced agent , it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

That's where Accelerated Appraisal Services comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will intrigue potential buyers. An expert appraisal from Accelerated Appraisal Services can:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you have a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your home's shape inside and out to impress buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing
Reduce chances of unknown problems that can cause sales to fold
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close.

Improvements that add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the costs you'd pay.

Accelerated Appraisal Services will step in and help you make these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Our fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
