So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from Valiant Appraisal Services allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold.

 

An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's amount of value to realistically price their home for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

​

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your house, then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes competing sale homes in your local area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the house's time on the market.

'

In our opinion, however, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - before putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced agent. That's where Valiant Appraisal Services comes 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 comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

​

Valiant Appraisal Services can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in potential buyers, and we can also:

​

• Be a valuable negotiating tool once you have found an interested buyer

• Provide written proof of your house's state inside and out to impress potential buyers

• Make you aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour

• Cut down the chances of unexpected predicaments that can cause sales to fold

• Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Upgrades that improve your home's value:

​

Valiant Appraisal Services can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Ask yourself "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal effect. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the costs you'd pay.

​

We can step in and help you make these decisions. Unlike a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price. An appraisal fee from Valiant Appraisal Services is based on our efforts to finalize your report and is not a percentage of the sales price. Our fees are not a percentage of your home's sale price — our fees are based on efforts to complete the report. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Valiant Appraisal Services. When it comes to investing in your house and setting a fair price to sell at, we'll help you make the best decisions.
