Getting an appraisal from Box Appraisal Services before putting your home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

You're probably, as a homeowner, focused on how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to pay.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

Quite a few Texas homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Call attention to any problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate
Folks are sometimes surprised to discover their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
