Pre Listing Appraisal Services
Pre Listing Appraisal
Price With Precision, Sell With Confidence!
In the real estate industry, accurate property valuation plays an important role. Thus, professional real estate appraisal services can simply be a fair trade. Licensed appraisers provide the aforementioned services to all stakeholders so that a sound decision is taken on real values rather than perception.
A Pre-Listing Appraisal from DMA Appraisers gives discerning sellers the data-driven valuation needed to position their property for success in a competitive market.
Unlike basic online estimates or informal Comparative Market Analyses (CMA), a professional pre-listing appraisal is conducted by a licensed, certified appraiser who analyzes your property’s unique features, condition, architectural distinction, and comparable high-end sales and ensuring your listing aligns with actual market value, not aspirational figures.
DMA Appraisers offer pre-listing appraisals throughout Long Island, including appraisals in East Meadow, Farmingdale, Whitestone and more!
Why Sellers Need a Professional Appraisal
By working with a licensed appraiser you will have an accurate market value listing price. Pricing a home too high often leads to longer days on market (DOM), an industry metric tracking how long a listing stays active. Properties with higher DOM tend to signal overpricing, which can deter buyers and reduce offers.
Properties selling within 180 days routinely achieve a higher sale-to-list price ratio (~94%) than those lingering longer, which may end up selling for 81% or less of the initial list price. In short: a well-supported appraisal helps avoid overpricing that can cost sellers time and thousands in lost equity.
Maximize Buyer Appeal & Minimize Market Time
Correct pricing matters more than ever. Homes that stay too long on the market often signal overpricing to affluent buyers and invite negotiation leverage. The first 90–180 days are critical. Homes that sell within this window typically fetch closer to desired value and spend significantly fewer days on market than those that don’t.
A pre-listing appraisal equips you to:
Whether your property features panoramic views, bespoke design, historic distinction, or resort-level amenities, DMA Appraisers provide a meticulous appraisal that strengthens your listing from the start.
The Bottom Line
Professional real estate appraisal services are the lifeline for the smooth functioning of the real estate market. Without these services, the buyer, the seller, the lender, and investors would be at a much higher risk of uncertainty. Professional property appraisal is the key in the real estate industry. Therefore, contact with DMA Appraisers for such services, and pre-listing appraisals.
Important Note: A pre-listing appraisal cannot replace the lender’s appraisal. Banks are required to order their own independent appraisal for financing purposes. However, by aligning your asking price with market reality, your pre-listing appraisal greatly increases the chance that the bank’s appraisal will support your contract price.
