Getting an appraisal from Don C. Box and Associates before putting your Travis County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

You, as a homeowner, might be thinking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. You see, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for what another person is offering to give you.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more Texas homeowners are making the decision 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, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, you need a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, it can be very hard to be objective about your 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.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Make you aware of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Help prevent the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised to discover the value of their home 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 originally expected. Others have an an exaggerated impression when they put a value on their home, 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 causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
