Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Gold Coast 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 a professional appraisal actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

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

Are you working with an agent to list your property? Quite often you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes competing sales houses in your local area. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to minimize your house's time on the market and maximize your profit.

In our opinion, however, you should also get an appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - BEFORE putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where Gold Coast Appraisal Group LLC comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Gold Coast Appraisal Group LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will interest buyers, and we can also:

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you have a prospective buyer
Impress potential buyers with written proof of your house's shape inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Decrease the chances of unexpected disputes that cause negotiations to crumble
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your house. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out your costs before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.
