FSBO & Pre-Listing Services

It is often difficult to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones here at Capital View, are objective. We’ll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It’s something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party’s opinion of your house’s value, not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser’s value report than yours.

Selling Your Own Home:

More and more homeowners today are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. Selling your home by this method can end up saving you a potential “hefty” commission (industry average is 5-7% of the home’s selling price). Plus many FSBO sellers feel that they have more control in the process of selling their home since they’re in essence making all the rules.

According to the National Association of Realtors, over 70% of all homebuyers now use the Internet to search for homes so if your house isn’t on the Internet, it should be. And that’s where we can help.

Here’s how it works. You order an appraisal from us via our website. Once the report is complete, we can publish a summary page of your appraisal to the website (with your permission, of course). A unique webpage URL is created for your property address that you use in all aspects of marketing your home to potential buyers. Your webpage is then displayed as a beautiful Flash-animated listing brochure – just like what actual real estate agents use to market their listings. Your webpage will also include:

  • A prominent display of your contact information so potential buyers know how to reach you
  • A Property Details and Property Highlights area to display information like community and/or neighborhood demographics, school district, your home’s unique amenities, and any other features about your home you want to highlight
  • A detailed summary of our complete appraisal report and a link for your potential buyers to download it
  • A link to download an online location map so prospects can see your exact property address
  • An impressive virtual tour of all the photos of your home contained in our appraisal report
  • An e-mail link for potential buyers to send your webpage to a friend

You know your home better than anyone, knowing what features to highlight and which ones to downplay. Let us help you get the exposure your home deserves.
