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

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 house is a lot more than they expected, 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. There are also plenty of 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. Overpriced homes do not attract serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

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

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your home, then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes comparable homes for sale in your area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market, this is a vital step.

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

And that's where CMRE Appraisals Inc. can help you! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

CMRE Appraisals Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will draw in potential buyers, and we can also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have found a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your house's state inside and out to impress buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
Decrease the chances of unexpected dilemmas that cause the process to fall through
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Home improvements that add value

CMRE Appraisals Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Questions like "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the expenses involved.
