Getting an appraisal from Appraisal Specialists before putting your Randall County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a step in the right direction. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

You, as a homeowner, might be fixated on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is offering to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more Texas homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, you need a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it can be very difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sound selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very useful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Alert you of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to backslide
People are surprised to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they thought they would get. Others have an an exaggerated opinion when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".
