Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact 4Loines Real Estate Services

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 home is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's estimated value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do 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 on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

In today's changing market, using a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a skillful listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your home? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes comparable houses for sale 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 the house's time on the market and maximize your profit.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign a Listing Agreement, even if you've been working with an experienced agent.

That's where 4Loines Real Estate Services 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 house's features.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home There are many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home -- and 4Loines Real Estate Services can help with that. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect.
