Getting an appraisal from Jo Zavala Sanders, Inc. before putting your Travis County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

For Sale By Owner?

An increasing amount of TX homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help 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 qualified appraiser. 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.

Not only can 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 negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Lower the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an inflated 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 in order for it to sell quickly instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
