Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Kenny Furuya Appraisal Services

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. If you're working with An agent to list your house, then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays a list of sales houses in your town. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a natural move.

In our opinion, though, you should also get a pre-listing appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - PRIOR to putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where Kenny Furuya Appraisal Services can help you! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

With today's evolving market conditions, you should definitely hire a licensed appraiser to get a skillful listing price for your home. Contact us today.

A knowledgeable appraisal from Kenny Furuya Appraisal Services can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in buyers, and we'll also:
  • Provide tips to help you negotiate once you find a potential buyer
  • Wow potential buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
  • Make yourself aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
  • Cut down the chances of unexpected headaches that can cause your sale to flop
  • Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close
A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them 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 will not attract interested buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage.

Home improvements that add value

Kenny Furuya Appraisal Services can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it... Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel... Virtually any project can affect value in some way. But not everything will have an equal impact. Remodeling your kitchen may improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out your expenses before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

Kenny Furuya Appraisal Services can help you with these decisions. Appraisers don't have any vested interest in your final selling price, like a real estate agent on commission will. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Kenny Furuya Appraisal Services. When it comes to investing in your home and deciding on a fair sales price, we'll help homeowners like you make the wisest decisions.
