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

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. At the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is willing to pay.

Selling on your own?

Quite a few Texas homeowners are deciding 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 qualified appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it's 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.

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very beneficial bargaining tool 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 overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help lower the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to flop
People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have originally netted. Others have an an exaggerated opinion of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
