FREE CERTIFIED Home Appraisals *****************
Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest investment decisions you will ever make. A pre-listing or pre-offer certified appraisal gives you key information you will need and can trust to help you make the right decisions. That is why I am willing to hire a Certified Professional Appraiser at my expense so you will know have a good idea of your homes current market value.
Why? Because I truly believe it will save you thousands and that is my job and my goal as your agent, to save you money! Equally important, it is going to help enable you to get the results you are hoping for - a closed sale at the best price on your property.
I have had great success with appraisals to get buyers and sellers on the same page. I find buyers often get their information from unreliable sources like Zillow.com or tax records which often do not reflect the true current value of your home.
I " I know it works because I have closed 16 properties this past year and was the Regional office top sales volume producer for all of 2010! "
For Buyers - before or during the negotiations on the home of your dreams, I highly recommend taking advantage of my free appraisal offer. You will know exactly what the home is valued at and what your lender will give you a loan for. Please see the for Home Buyers page for more details.
For Sellers - The key to why correctly priced homes sell for more-
Studies show that the first 60 days of a listing is the time when you get the highest offers and when your home gets the most attention from buyers. After those first 60 days, buyers will often start thinking they can get a big discount and begin to feel that they have more leverage. Showings will also start to trail off rapidly after only about 6 weeks. That leaves a very small window in which to get top dollar for your home and that's why I believe it is crucial to hit the market red hot with the right price, the right advertising, and the right agent !!!"I want to help you get the best price possible. I work for you."
"The proven way to get the highest price is to find the correct range for your home in the beginning and then shoot for the high end of that range.
And don't let anyone tell you newspaper advertising doesn't matter anymore because of the internet.
Exposure is key and that is why advertise every week in multiple real estate news sources in addition to dozens of top International websites including #1 Enormo.com, the New York Times, Luxury Homes, the Wall St Journal, Unique Properties, Google, and many more!!!

Knowing what price your home will appraise at can also benefit you in many other ways. Here are just a few:
1- You will be protected from agreeing to list at too low price or from pricing yourself out of the market, but you still call the shots and choose your price.
2- You will be able to recognize a good and bad offer when it comes in.
3- You will be very confident when negotiating the best deal for your home.
4- You will know that the deal has a very good chance of closing when the buyer goes to apply for their mortgage. Most deals close at the agreed price only if the bank appraisal matches the contract. Otherwise, you can lose thousands in last minute re-negotiations to keep a deal afloat if you are not prepared for the possibility of a low appraisal. You really want have a clear picture of your value before you begin negotiations and before making any concessions such as closing costs to a weak buyer.
5- Lastly, while some agents are good at discerning values, they are not professional appraisers and pricing can be tricky for most. So why guess and possibly list to low? Starting way too high and working your way down does not work either because your home typically loses value the longer it is listed. That is why I believe it is critical for you to to know how to determine what price range your home may sell for from the start, to net you the highest amount possible.
"It really pays to do your homework in advance! It can put thousands more in your pocket."
I am happy to provide you with a free market analysis of your home before you decide to list. I am one of the best price analysts in the area, but I still like to be double sure when it comes to my clients biggest investment. Too often I see homes for sale, priced below where they should be, and others priced to high for the market.
