I’ve read a few articles and blogs recently about different views on home sellers getting a pre-listing appraisal prior to marketing a property for sale. Obviously pricing a property is one of the most important steps when it comes to selling a property. No buyer wants to purchase a property that is priced above market value and no seller wants to sell a property below market value. The quandary is how to determine market value.

The traditional way has always been to contact a neighborhood Realtor and have them give you a free Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). The CMA will include similar properties that have recently been sold, are under contract and are currently active in the marketplace. The CMA will result in the Realtor’s opinion on what they feel the house will sell for. The question on this approach is since a Realtor has provided this free service in the hopes of earning business by getting the listing is the end result truly unbiased? Realtors would answer that they are ethically bound to provide accurate information, but unfortunately the consumer doesn’t always equate ethics with Realtors!

Another approach in establishing value is the pre-listing appraisal. This entails the homeowner engaging a licensed real estate appraiser to appraise the property and establish a value. The average price for an appraisal is $350 depending on your local market. Although this is an out of pocket expense that the homeowner pays for the end result is an unbiased opinion on value. With this valuable information the homeowner can strategize a market price with their Realtor and substantiate the price to any prospective buyer. This process also eliminates the fear of “Will the property appraise?” when the property is in escrow and the buyer goes to get their loan.

Knowledge is power and knowing what a home is truly worth in the current market place is a very powerful tool for a home seller to have when they are trying to sell their home. Paying for a service prior to selling a home is not the “norm”, but if you are paying for a valuable insight and professionalism isn’t it worth it?

By no means is this a knock on a Realtors capability of effectively pricing a home, but instead it is to fill the consumers’ need to have an unbiased opinion. At the end of the day don’t we all want our clients to be comfortable with the process and for them to turn into raging advocates that tell their family and friends about how great our service are?

On what would be the 65th birthday of the legendary front-man of the generation blending super group Queen, Freddie Mercury has been idolized with a very creative Doodle from the geniuses at Google UK. Here is the YouTube video.

I have vivid memories of listening to Queen when I was a kid and am pleasantly surprised now when my 12 year old twins belt out We Are The Champions!

Thank you Freddie Mercury for making music that will last forever!
