Getting an appraisal from Tradewinds Appraisals, LLC before putting your Galveston home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you 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 real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. Something is only worth the price another person is offering to pay.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

More and more Texas 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, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very 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.

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

Be a very useful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Prevent the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop

People are surprised to discover the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an exaggerated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
