OWNERS & BUYERS

For Buyers

Many buyers make the decision to have an appraisal completed before purchasing a home in Longview, Tyler, Houston or any other town in Texas.

Purchasing a home is a big decision which involves multiple factors. One of the most important aspects in buying a home is what you are paying for it. Almost all lenders require an appraisal if they are making a loan on the property. Nowadays the lender picks the appraiser from their own appraiser panel, or from a third party appraisal management company. However, it is still often wise for a buyer to obtain their own independent appraisal on the property they are purchasing. This appraisal would not be used for the loan, but gives peace of mind to the buyer to ensure they are not over paying for the property and are getting a fair deal. And if you are paying cash for a home, what better way to ensure that you are not over-paying than by ordering a home appraisal from Professional Appraisers of Texas.

For Sale by Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It’s very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Professional Appraisers of Texas, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It’s something tangible to show your buyer. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser’s value judgement than yours.

For Sellers

Listing at the right price is crucial and a home appraisal from Professional Appraisers of Texas will ensure you get it 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 a professional appraiser does, it’s hard for them to understand real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. Technically, something is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to give you.

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

Quite a few 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 to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that it’s 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 useful bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home’s condition inside and out
Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Lower the possibility of unidentified 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 taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they originally thought. Others have an an exaggerated opinion of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly – instead of sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home does not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources leaving you in real estate “limbo”.

Pre-listing appraisals in Longview, Marshall, Kilgore, Houston and Tyler

And that’s where Professional Appraisers of Texas comes in. We can furnish you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate summarizing of your home’s characteristics and a detailed breakdown of the the newest and similar comparable sales which we typically refer to as “comps” in the appraisal industry.
