Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact My Trilla Appraisals

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 house is a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from My Trilla Appraisals actually allowed these sellers 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 price 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. Every month your house sits 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 is sitting still on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get an accurate listing price for your home in today's ever-changing market.

Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your property? Quite often they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes comparable homes for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point when 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 process.

In our opinion, however, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from a licensed professional who tracks real estate values for living - PRIOR to listing your property - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where we come in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

A professional appraisal from My Trilla Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will attract potential buyers, and we'll also:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you find a potential buyer
Impress potential buyers with written proof of your home's shape inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
Decrease the chances of unknown disputes that cause the process to fold
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements that add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
