Getting an appraisal from Richey Appraisals before putting your Texarkana home on the market saves you time and money.

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

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. Something is only worth the price another person is willing to pay.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

An increasing amount of Texas homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it's 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 sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Call attention to any problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Help prevent the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an exaggerated opinion of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
