Getting an appraisal from Home Team Appraisals before putting your Harris County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays 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 understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

You could be fixated on how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. A home is only worth the price another person is offering to give you.

For Sale By Owner?

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 objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to take an objective look at 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very helpful bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Alert you of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Lower the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to flop
It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an overestimated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
