Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from B & B Valuations, LLC.

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 a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these sellers 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 decide on a realistic price for 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 all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a correct listing price for your home in today's adapting market.

Are you working with an agent to list your home? Quite often they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes selected sales houses in your area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This is a crucial step if your intentions are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

In our opinion, though, you should also get a pre-listing appraisal from someone who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - BEFORE listing your property - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where B & B Valuations, LLC can help you! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

B & B Valuations, LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will intrigue potential buyers, and we can also:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have found an interested buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your home's shape inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Decrease the chances of unexpected disputes that cause the process to go up in smoke
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Improvements that add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. 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 can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. Remodeling your kitchen might improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out the costs involved before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.

We'll step in and help make these decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
