Tri Borough Appraisals can perform a pre-listing appraisal of your property with a detailed analysis using the most relevant comparable sales.

Working with a professional real estate agent to list your property ? Then you can expect them to provide a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes a detailed list of sold houses in your local market area that are comparable to the subject property. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's value and the best listing price. For anyone looking to get the most profit out of their house, this includes not having it listed for sale well beyond the typical marketing time.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the current market value of their house. Investing in a professional appraisal report may help some owners obtain more than what they thought they'd get for their house. There are also plenty of sellers who may think their home is worth a lot more than it really is. A well documented appraisal may help them to adjust the offering price of their house in order for it to sell within a reasonable marketing time. Overpriced homes often times do not attract serious potential buyers, which means you throw away time and (not to mention) money, and still have no prospects for buying your house.

Improvements to add value

Tri Borough Appraisals can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Questions like "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it ?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom ?", "Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel ?" Improvements we make to our homes can potentially have a significant impact on their value.

We will prepare a professional appraisal report that can help you make these decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Our appraisal fees are based solely on our efforts to complete and finalize the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price. A professional appraisal will help you make a educated and informed decision.
