Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Coleman Appraisal.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; 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 difficult for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

You, as a homeowner, might be focused on how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is going to pay.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

An increasing amount of Texas homeowners are making the decision 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, quickly and for the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, and we understand that it's 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.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very useful negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Call attention to any issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Prevent the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate
People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is higher than they first thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

Get a comprehensive appraisal before listing

Even if you have an extremely talented agent, it's in your best interest to get an analysis of your home's value before signing a listing agreement. And that's where Coleman Appraisal comes in. We can furnish you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a precise summarizing of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or as they're commonly called, "comps".
