Getting an appraisal from Gerber Appraising before putting your Mckinney home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more TX homeowners are choosing 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 to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it's hard 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 astute selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very beneficial bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Call attention to any issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to fall through

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
