Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Goodwin Appraisals Inc.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. Working with an agent to sell your house? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes competing homes for sale in your town. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market.

Even if you've been working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion before signing a Listing Agreement.

That's where we come in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

In today's ever-changing market, using a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a factual listing price for your home. Contact us today.

Goodwin Appraisals Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will interest potential buyers, and we can also:
  • Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your house's condition inside and out
  • Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make yourself aware of problems that might delay a closing
  • Cut down the chances of unknown predicaments that can cause your sale to fall through
  • Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten
A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from Goodwin Appraisals Inc. actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract serious buyers, which means you waste time and (not to mention) money and are left with no offers. Every month your home sits 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 equally important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it... Does the carpet need replacing... Should I finish my closet remodel... Virtually any project can affect value in some way. Unfortunately, not all of them have an impact commensurate with their cost. Remodeling your kitchen might improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Appraisers have no vested interest in your final selling price, like an agent on commission will. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Goodwin Appraisals Inc.. When it comes to investing in your house and setting a fair sales price, we'll help you make the most financially sound decisions.
