Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Tidewater Home 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 list your home? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays a list of houses for sale in your area. It's a good starting point in 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 logical process.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before you sign a Listing Agreement, even if you have been working with the most experienced agent.

That's where Tidewater Home Appraisals, Inc. comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

Using a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get a fair listing price for your home in today's ever-changing market. Contact us today.

Tidewater Home Appraisals, Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will charm buyers, and we can also:
  • Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress potential buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
  • Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
  • Cut down the chances of unexpected obstacles that can cause your sale to crumble
  • Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close
A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Tidewater Home 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 amount of value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

Improvements to add value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel... Virtually any project can affect value in some way. But not everything will have an equal effect. Remodeling your kitchen may 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.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. Unlike an agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Our fees are not a percentage of your home's sale price -- your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize the report. A professional appraisal from Tidewater Home Appraisals, Inc. will help homeowners make the sharpest decisions on investments to add value and deciding on a fair price at which to sell.
