Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Crowe Appraisals.

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 more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's amount of value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a skillful listing price for your home in today's adapting market.

Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your house? Quite often you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes selected sales houses in your local area. It's a customary starting point when deciding 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 crucial step.

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

That's where Crowe Appraisals comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

Crowe Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will appeal to potential buyers, and we can also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your house's state inside and out to blow away potential buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems
Reduce chances of unknown messes that can cause your sale to deteriorate
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Home improvements that add value

Crowe Appraisals can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new 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 everything will affect it in a different way. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

Crowe Appraisals will step in and help you make these decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.

Our fees are not a percentage of the sales price — our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete the report.
