Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Wertenberger & Associates Inc will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

For Sale By Owner?

An increasing amount of TX homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it's very difficult to take an objective look at 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 sensible selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Alert you of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of gathering dust 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.
