Pre-listing/FSBO

Pre- Listing Service

Many homeowners need an outside professional opinion of market value. A state certified appraiser is an objective source that will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price that will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It serves as an independent third party's opinion of your home's value from a licensed professional without any ties to the sale proceeds. In Addition to looking at past sales data the appraiser is required to report present listing data in the immediate neighborhood to give the intended user of the report the most accurate picture of your homes value potential on the current market.

(FSBO)

Homes that are listed for sale by the owner, without the assistance of a real estate agent, are known as FSBOs. More and more homeowners today are choosing to sell their homes (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. Most recently many homeowners who must sell cannot afford to pay the commission with the lack of home equity in some cases. Selling your home by this method can end up saving you a potential “hefty” commission (industry average is 5-7% of the home’s selling price).

An overpriced home will not attract buyers and can waste valuable marketing time along with adding more monthly bills. An appraisal can help determine a fair market value that can serve as a marketing tool.

The appraised value can sometimes be much more than the homeowners original estimate which could have cost them thousands of dollars.

The appraiser can point out any needed repairs ,deferred maintenance, or presentation problems with the home which may cause market rejection of your asking price or significantly lower the appraised value. These items can be improved prior to the listing placement of the house on the market.

According to the National Association of Realtors, over 70% of all homebuyers now use the Internet to search for homes so if your house isn’t on the internet, it should be. Many (FSBO) web sites including a flat rate MLS are available to list your property.
