Getting an appraisal from Crescent Appraisal Group, Inc. before putting your Jefferson County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

You're probably fixated on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. Technically, something is only worth what another person is willing to pay.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more Louisiana homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it's hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Alert you of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Lower the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to backslide

People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is much more than they thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they could have originally gotten. Others have an an overestimated impression of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
