Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Becky Walker Certified Appraiser will ensure you get it right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more TX homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need a qualified appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

Be a very useful bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Decrease the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than waiting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
