Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact CCR Appraisal Service

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 home is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious 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 the mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

With today's adapting market conditions, you should definitely considering hiring a licensed appraiser to get a fair listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to sell your property? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays selected houses for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a really important step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement, even if you've hired the most experienced real estate agent.

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

We're also experienced in helping you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will intrigue buyers. An expert appraisal from CCR Appraisal Service can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you find an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your house's condition inside and out to impress buyers
Make you aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Decrease the chances of unexpected messes that cause negotiations to fizzle
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through.

Improvements to add value

CCR Appraisal Service can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Ask yourself "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

CCR Appraisal Service can help you with 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 the report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
