Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Corpus Christi Appraisal Service, Inc..

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

You could be fixated on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. A home is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to pay.

Selling on your own?

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 if you're going to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, you need a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that it's difficult to take an objective look at your 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.

In addition to helping you set a sound asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Call attention to any issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help prevent the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people when they find out the value of their home is much more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally thought. Others have an an overestimated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".

Get a professional value opinion before listing

Even if you're working with an extremely talented agent, it's definitely a good idea to have an analysis of value prior to signing a listing agreement. And that's where Corpus Christi Appraisal Service, Inc. comes in. We can furnish you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a definitive summarizing of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the the latest and similar comparable sales or as they're commonly called, "comps".
