Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Crandall Appraisal Service will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. Rather, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. A home is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to pay.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few Texas homeowners are deciding 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 to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it's hard to take an objective look at 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:
  • Give you an advantage while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Make you aware of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Prevent the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
People are surprised when they find out their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally thought. Others have an an overestimated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
