Appraisal services for home sellers - Shannon Ortega

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Shannon Ortega will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

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 if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it's very hard 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 realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Call attention to any problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is a great deal more than they thought. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an inflated impression when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
