Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from California Coast Appraisals.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your house, more than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays competing homes for sale in your town. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a natural move.

Even if you have hired an experienced real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before signing a Listing Agreement.

And that's where California Coast Appraisals can help you! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely considering hiring a licensed appraiser to get a sharp listing price for your home. Contact us today.

  • Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress potential buyers with written proof of your house's condition inside and out

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they expected, 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 inflated opinion of their home's amount of value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage.

Improvements that add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be other equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Should we paint the entire house before we sell it... Does the tile need replacing... Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel... Virtually any project can influence value in some way. But each thing affects marketability differently. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

We'll help you make some of these decisions. California Coast Appraisals appraisers have no vested interest in what amount the home sells for, unlike an agent. Our fees are not a percentage of your home's sale price -- our fees are based on efforts to finalize the report. So a professional appraisal from California Coast Appraisals helps homeowners like you make the wisest decisions on investments to add value and setting a smart sales price.
