Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact 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.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they had planned, so investing in an appraisal from B & B Valuations, LLC actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a skillful listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your property, then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes similar homes for sale in your area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to minimize your house's time on the market and maximize your profit.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before you sign the Listing Agreement, even if you are working with the most 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 agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".
