Pre-Listing Appraisals

Properties that aren’t priced right simply don’t sell. Overpriced listings collect days on the market and frequently end up selling for much less than they would have had they been priced right at the beginning. Avoid this by getting a professional, expert pre-listing appraisals from Advent Appraisals.

Every month that a property sits unsold drains the owner’s wallet. It takes no time for a owner to spend more in carrying costs (mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities) while the property is listed than the total cost of an appraisal. If you want your property sold quickly, invest in a pre-listing appraisal.


Advent Appraisals provides an accurate, substantive listing appraisal service for property owners and realtors in the Baltimore Metro Area. We’ll perform a pre-listing appraisal to provide your real estate team with a detailed analysis of the most recent comparable sales and an accurate description of your property's features. Our report will help you decide on an attractive selling price so that your property draws in buyers, and:

>> Provide expert advice when negotiating once you find a prospective buyer

>> Provide written proof of your homes condition, inside and out

>> Eliminate last-minute repair hassles

>> Cut down the chances of unknown problems that can cause your sale to fizzle

>> Cut the wait for the buyer’s appraisal, assuring the sale will go through

An overpriced property will not attract potential buyers, which means no offers, no closing and wasted time, money, and effort. An underpriced property means low ball offers and thousands of dollars in value lost. To maximize your profit and minimize your properties time on the market, it’s in your best interest to have an objective, third-party opinion before signing the listing agreement.

The professional appraisers at Advent Appraisals render unbiased, neutral opinions of value. We’ll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping, you set a realistic price to sell so your property will attract interested buyers, a pre-listing appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. The pre-listing appraisal is a true, independent third party’s opinion of your properties market value, backed by a credible, expert state-certified appraiser.


Advent Appraisals proves to be the Baltimore Metro Area, top provider of pre-listing appraisals. Don’t risk leaving several thousand dollars on the closing table. Call us today for an in-depth consultation and guidance provided by a state-certified appraiser. We have the experience and qualifications to meet all of your appraisal needs.
