Pre-Listing Appraisals

Metrowide Appraisals provides a quality listing appraisal service for local Realtors. Here are 5 good reasons why you need a listing appraisal:

• It ensures an accurate measurement of the home’s square footage. According to a recent survey, the most common Realtor lawsuit today is due to an inaccurate representation of a home’s true living area.
• It can drastically reduce the closing time by eliminating the delay of waiting for the buyer’s lender to order and their own appraisal. The appraisal is usually one of the last steps in the mortgage process. Since we already have an appraisal on the property, we can convert it to a mortgage finance appraisal as soon as we receive a request from the buyer’s lender. This results in an appraisal being delivered very quickly rather than having to wait several days for another appraiser.
• The listing appraisal can help make sure your listing is accurately priced for the current market. Potential buyers and their Realtors will be very impressed that a professional, full color copy of a recent appraisal has been completed and placed where they can view the report.
• It will impress buyers with written proof of a home’s condition inside and out, decreasing the chance of your sale falling through due to unknown problems.
• It can assist to value a unique or complex property.
