Getting an appraisal from Gutierrez Appraisals before putting your Farmersville 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 pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

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. You see, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. Something is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to pay.

For Sale By Owner?

An increasing amount of California 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, with minimal waiting 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 to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Make you aware of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help lower the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
People are surprised when they find out their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have originally netted. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment of the value of their home, 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. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
