Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Bettasso Appraisal.

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 house is much more than they had planned, so investing in an appraisal from Bettasso Appraisal actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract 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. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a proper listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

Working with an agent to sell your house? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes a list of sales houses in your town. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your home's time on the market, this is a really important step.

But even if you've been working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to 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".

We're also experienced in helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will entice buyers. An efficient appraisal from Bettasso Appraisal can:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have found a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your home's condition inside and out to blow away buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Decrease the chances of unexpected quandaries that cause negotiations to fizzle
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value to your home

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your home. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the costs you'd pay.

We'll step in and help make these important decisions. Bettasso Appraisal appraisers have no vested interest in what amount the home sells for, unlike a real estate agent.
