Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Jackson Claborn, Inc. will ensure you get it right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand local real estate values.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. Something is only worth what another person is willing to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of Texas homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a expert appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, and we understand that 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 will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Give you an advantage while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Make you aware of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally expected. Others have an an exaggerated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
