Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Certified Residential Appraisal, 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 home is much more than they had planned, so investing in an appraisal from Certified Residential Appraisal, Inc. actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house will not attract serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. 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 home is still sitting on the market.

With today's ever-changing market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get an accurate listing price for your home.

Working with an agent to list your property? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays competing homes for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point in deciding 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 standard process.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement, even if you are working with the most experienced agent.

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

In addition to helping you decide on a realistic selling price so your home will charm buyers. A skillful appraisal from Certified Residential Appraisal, Inc. can:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you find an interested buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Decrease the chances of unknown obstacles that cause negotiations to fall through
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value

Certified Residential Appraisal, 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 entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the expenses involved.
