Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact David LeComte Appraisals (732) 614-0690

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 more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from David LeComte Appraisals (732) 614-0690 actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth a lot 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. An overpriced home will not attract interested 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 its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

With today's fluctuating market conditions, you should definitely considering hiring a licensed appraiser to get a fair listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to sell your property? Then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes similar houses for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. This is a really important (and very logical) step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before signing the Listing Agreement, even if you are working with the most experienced real estate agent.

And that's where David LeComte Appraisals (732) 614-0690 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".

In addition to helping you decide on a realistic price to sell so your house will draw in buyers. An efficient appraisal from David LeComte Appraisals (732) 614-0690 can:

Improvements that add value to your home

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your house. Questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the expenses involved.
