Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact 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.

Working with a real estate agent to sell your property? Then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes a list of homes for sale in your town. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market, this is a vital step.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before you sign the Listing Agreement, even if you have been working with an experienced real estate agent.

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


	In today's ever-changing market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the top way to get an accurate listing price for your home. Contact us today.

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

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have a a prospective buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make yourself aware of problems
Cut down the chances of unknown disputes that can cause your sale to fall through
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage.

Improvements to add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it... Should I complete my closet remodel... Practically any project can affect value in some way. But each thing impacts marketability differently. Remodeling your kitchen may improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out the costs involved before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Unlike a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price. So a professional appraisal from Crescent Appraisal Group, Inc. helps homeowners like you make the decisions on investments to add value and setting a profit-maximizing sales price.
