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.

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

In today's ever-changing market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a skillful listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your property? Then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays selected sales houses in your area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a vital (and very common) step if your interests are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

In our opinion, though, you might also wish to consider an appraisal from a professional who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - PRIOR to putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

And that's where Crescent Appraisal Group, Inc. comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

An efficient appraisal from Crescent Appraisal Group, Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will appeal to buyers, and we'll also:

  • Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have a prospective buyer
  • Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your house's shape inside and out
  • Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
  • Reduce chances of unexpected headaches that can cause your sale to flop
  • Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through.

Improvements that add value to your home

Crescent Appraisal Group, Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
