Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Crescent Appraisal Group, Inc.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Crescent Appraisal Group, Inc. actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't 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 the mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

In today's fluctuating market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a proper listing price for your home.

Working with an agent to sell your property? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes a list of houses for sale in your area. It's a customary starting point in determining 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 process.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before signing the Listing Agreement, even if you have hired the most experienced agent.

That's where we come in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

A professional appraisal from Crescent Appraisal Group, Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will draw in potential buyers, and we'll also:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your home's quality inside and out to impress buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Decrease the chances of unexpected problems that cause negotiations to deteriorate

Improvements to add value to your home

Crescent Appraisal Group, Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses can affect their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.
