Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Cayenne Appraisal Group, LLC

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. Are you working with a real estate agent to list your house? Quite often you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes comparable sales houses in your area. It's a customary starting point in 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.

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

And that's where Cayenne Appraisal Group, LLC comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

With today's adapting market conditions, you should definitely hire a licensed appraiser to get an expert listing price for your home. Contact us today.

In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell so your home will draw in potential buyers, a knowledgeable appraisal from Cayenne Appraisal Group, LLC can:
  • Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress potential buyers with written proof of your house's quality inside and out
  • Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make yourself aware of problems that might delay your closing
  • Decrease the chances of unexpected quandaries that cause the process to break down
  • 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 an appraisal from Cayenne Appraisal Group, LLC 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 value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract potential buyers, which means you squander time and money and are left with no prospects for buying your home. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage.

Improvements to add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. Should we paint the entire house before we sell it... Does the carpet need replacing... Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel... Virtually any project has the potential to influence value in some way. But not everything will have an equal impact. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. An appraisal fee from Cayenne Appraisal Group, LLC is based on our efforts to finalize the report, and are not a percentage of your home's sale price. When it comes to investing in your home and deciding on a fair price to sell at, a professional appraisal from Cayenne Appraisal Group, LLC will help homeowners like you make the best decisions.
