Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from TEXAS REAL ESTATE APPRAISERS

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 house is a lot more than they'd planned, 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. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious 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 the mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

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

Working with a real estate agent to list your house? More than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays selected sales in your area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a vital step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

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

That's where we come in! We can do 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".

We're also experienced in helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers. A skillful appraisal from TEXAS REAL ESTATE APPRAISERS can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you find an interested buyer
Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's shape inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Cut down the chances of unknown headaches that can cause your sale to break down
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Improvements that add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
