Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Dixon Appraisal Group, 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 more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Dixon Appraisal Group, LLC actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's estimated value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

In today's fluctuating market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a skillful listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your house? Quite often you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes selected sales houses in your town. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your home's time on the market.

In our opinion, however, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from someone who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - PRIOR to putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

And that's where Dixon Appraisal Group, LLC can help you! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Dixon Appraisal Group, LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will charm potential buyers, and we can also:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a prospective buyer
Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing
Cut down the chances of unexpected predicaments that can cause your sale to crumble
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

Dixon Appraisal Group, LLC can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my closet remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. Remodeling your kitchen might improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out the expenses involved before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

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 do. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
