Appraisal services for home sellers - Preston-Amherst

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Preston-Amherst will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Selling on your own?

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 if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult 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 astute selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Make you aware of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Prevent the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out their home's value is much more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated assessment when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

Get a comprehensive appraisal before listing

Even if you have with the most experienced agent, it's definitely a good idea to get of value prior to finalizing a listing agreement. Preston-Amherst can help. We can furnish you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a definitive summarizing of your home's features and a detailed breakdown of the latest and similar comparable sales which we typically refer to as "comps" in the appraisal industry.
