Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Sunago Advisory Group, Inc..

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 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. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's price value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get an exact listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your property? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays selected houses for sale in your town. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a crucial (and very common) step if your goals 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 tracks real estate values for living - PRIOR to 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 have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

A knowledgeable appraisal from Sunago Advisory Group, Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will interest potential buyers, and we'll also:

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you find a potential buyer
Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems
Cut down the chances of unexpected predicaments that can cause sales to go up in smoke
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Home improvements that add value

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your home. Ask yourself "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can affect their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

We can step in and help you make these decisions. Unlike an agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
