Consulting for Home Sellers (214) 454-8481

Selling your home in or near Travis County? Contact Russell Appraisal Service and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. 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 hard for them to understand their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few TX homeowners are deciding 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 to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, it can be very difficult to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell 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 asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful negotiating 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 problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help lower the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than waiting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
