Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact C.C.S Appraisals

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people 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 price 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 potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

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

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your home, more than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays similar sale homes in your area. It's a good starting point when determining 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.

Even if you're working with the most experienced agent, it's in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion before signing a Listing Agreement.

And that's where C.C.S Appraisals can help you! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

In addition to assisting you with setting a realistic price to sell so your house will attract potential buyers. A skillful appraisal from C.C.S Appraisals can:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you find a potential buyer

Upgrades that improve your home's value

C.C.S Appraisals can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses have an effect on their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.
