Getting an appraisal from 121Valuation before putting your Grapevine home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; 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.

You, as a homeowner, might be fixated on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth the price another person is offering to give you.

Selling on your own?

More and more Texas 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, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal.

In addition to helping you set a sound selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very valuable bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Call attention to any issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate
It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they thought they would get. Others have an an inflated assessment of the value of their home, 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 - rather than waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
