Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Clarity Appraisals.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. You see, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. Something is only worth what another person is willing to give you.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

An increasing amount of 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, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, you need a skilled appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very hard to take an objective look at 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.

In addition to helping you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Call attention to any problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Prevent the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

Get a professional value opinion before listing

You might have a highly talented agent, but it's definitely a good idea to get an objective third-party's opinion of your home's value before finalizing a listing contract. And that's where Clarity Appraisals comes in. We can furnish you with a pre-listing appraisal that will let you and your agent have an accurate writeup of your home's characteristics and a detailed breakdown of the most recent and similar comparable sales or as they're commonly called, "comps".
