Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Associated Appraisal Service will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few TX homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a qualified appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it can be very hard to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very beneficial negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Make you aware of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
