Appraisal services for home sellers - Bradford Alley

Selling your home in or near Collin County? Contact Bradford Alley and make sure you're setting the price right.

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 in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more TX 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 for top dollar, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it's hard to take an objective look at 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 astute selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Call attention to any issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Decrease the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to backslide

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated assessment when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than waiting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
