Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Bianca Dulfer, LLC

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they had planned, so investing in an appraisal from Bianca Dulfer, LLC actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home 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. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get a fair listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to sell your house? Then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes similar homes for sale in your town. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This step is vital if you're going to minimize your house's time on the market and maximize your profit.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing a Listing Agreement, even if you have been working with the most experienced real estate agent.

And that's where Bianca Dulfer, LLC comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

In addition to helping you decide on a realistic price to sell so your home will entice potential buyers. A polished appraisal from Bianca Dulfer, LLC can:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have found an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your house's condition inside and out to blow away buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
Decrease the chances of unknown disputes that cause negotiations to fall through
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close.

Improvements to add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. Remodeling your kitchen might improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out the expenses involved before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
