Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Reliant Appraisals will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

You could be thinking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. A home is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to give you.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

Quite a few Texas homeowners are deciding 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 for top dollar, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it's very difficult to be objective about your 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Give you an advantage while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help prevent the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally expected. Others have an an inflated impression of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
