Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Robert Michael Lambert

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Robert Michael Lambert actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home will not attract serious potential 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 the mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

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

Working with an agent to sell your house? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays similar houses for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. This is a really important (and very common) step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

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

That's where Robert Michael Lambert comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

Improvements that add value to your home

Robert Michael Lambert can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the expenses involved.
