If the last few years have taught us anything, it is that market conditions can change quickly. If you are preparing to sell a home, there are many variables involved. Is the square footage accurate? Is the market increasing or declining? Does your specific market need special consideration? Are there other factors involved, such as unique property features, location on a busy road or near power lines?
The more of these questions you can get answered, the more predictable and stress-free the selling process will be. A pre-listing appraisal can provide an extremely accurate property measurement, data-driven analysis of unique features, and up to date market conditions. It can also provide an appraiser’s perspective to the process, so that there are fewer surprises later in the process.
