Getting an appraisal from BartonSource LLC before putting your Houston home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

An increasing amount of TX 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 for top dollar, what you need is a expert appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very difficult 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very useful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Alert you of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to flop

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 get thousands more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than waiting 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
