Getting an appraisal from Houston Appraisals LLC before putting your Youngstown 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 pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. You see, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. At the end of the day, your house is only worth the price another person is going to give you.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

An increasing amount of Ohio homeowners are choosing 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 for top dollar, you need a expert appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it's very 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 sensible selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very useful bargaining 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 get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Decrease the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of 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.
