Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Ohline Appraisals

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

If you're working with An agent to sell your home, then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays a list of houses for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. This is a crucial (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 a pre-listing appraisal from someone who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - BEFORE putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where we come in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.


	In today's fluctuating market, using a licensed appraiser is the best way to get an accurate listing price for your home. Contact us today.

Reduce chances of unexpected obstacles that can cause your sale to fall through

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal 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 squander time and money and still have no offers. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

Ohline Appraisals can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it... Should I put in that third bathroom... Should I complete my kitchen remodel... Practically any project has the potential to influence value in some way. But each thing affects value differently. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

We'll help you make some of these decisions. Appraisers don't have any vested interest in your final selling price, like a real estate agent on commission will. Our fees are not a percentage of your home's sale price -- your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize your report. So a professional appraisal from Ohline Appraisals helps homeowners make the wisest decisions when it comes to investments to add value and deciding on a smart listing price.
