Selling your home in or near Kaufman County? Contact Sizemore Appraisal Services, LLC and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; 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 hard for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. You see, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. Something is only going to sell for what another person is offering to pay.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of Texas homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and for the best price, what you need is a skilled appraiser. You need an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult 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 sound selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very valuable bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Prevent the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an exaggerated opinion when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
