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

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 pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

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 to sell it for. You see, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. Something is only worth what another person is going to pay.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few Texas homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, and we understand that it's difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

Be a very valuable bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Alert you of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help decrease the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they could have originally banked. Others have an an inflated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
