For Sale by Owner (FSBO)/Pre-Listing ServicesSince you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Reliant Appraisals will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's market value, not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value opinion than yours.Challenge Bexar County's assessment of your propertyYour local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that's going down.
