Getting an appraisal from Boldrick Appraisal before putting your Austin area home on the market saves you time and money.

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's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand their local real estate market.

You, as a homeowner, might be thinking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. Something is only going to sell for the price another person is going to pay.

Selling on your own?

More and more 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 if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, it can be very 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.

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 valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they could have originally gotten. Others have an an exaggerated assessment when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
