Pre-Listing, Pre-Purchase, FSBO’s

Current market conditions are changing at a rapid pace and pricing your home can be very challenging. As a homeowner deciding on a sale price for your home or as a listing broker attempting to determine an asking price for a property, deciding on a value is like trying to hit a moving target.

Today’s market is ever changing due to the fluctuation in mortgage rates and the low inventory of housing. Sifting through all of the market data to determine a true value for your home can be very taxing. Let us take the burden off your shoulders by allowing us in establish a list price for the sale of your home.

Triton Real Estate Advisors has a long history of working with both homeowners who chose to sell their own home and with real estate agents who provide their clients with data (an appraisal report) supporting a listing price for their home.

We are here to provide you with an unbiased, third party appraisal report that is more comprehensive and detailed than a realtor based Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) report. A CMA can be a bit on the side of a “hoped for” value and less of an actual market value.

A pre-listing appraisal provides an unbiased opinion of the fair market value of your home that is based on current and relevant market data. It is far superior in detail and analysis than a CMA report and it includes far more detail about the specific features, benefits and overall characteristics of your home.

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price for your home and provide prospective buyers with a realistic foundation for your home’s value, an appraisal will also do the following:

• Provide an effective tool for negotiating with prospective buyers and their agents.
• Help instill confidence in buyers by providing a value based on realistic market data.
• Provide specific details about your home that add to its overall value.
• Eliminate “under market” offers from buyers who review your appraisal report.

A home priced at market value will greatly enhance your chances of receiving multiple offers by buyers who recognize your understanding of a “fair” sale price and eliminate the loss of prospective buyers who look elsewhere when they see the home is overpriced.

On the other hand, an underpriced home may cause you to sell the home for less than its true market value and result in a loss of precious sale dollars.

Getting a pre-listing appraisal will help you, or your realtor, if you chose to use one, to determine a true list price for your property and it will greatly enhance your chances of selling your home at the top end of its fair market value and will do so in an efficient and timely marketing period.
