Putting a house on the market in or near Grayson County? Contact Yellow Rose Appraisals and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, a professional appraisal is a step in the right direction. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand local real estate values.

You could be fixated on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. Technically, something is only worth the price another person is offering to pay.

Appraisals are valuable tools for people selling without an agent

An increasing amount of Texas homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very hard 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Call attention to any issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Lower the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to flop
People are surprised to discover the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally expected. Others have an an exaggerated impression of the value of their home, 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 - rather than gathering dust 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.
