Selling your home in or near Harris County? Contact MCA Inc. and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, 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 to sell it for. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. Something is only worth the price another person is willing to give you.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

Quite a few 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 to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Call attention to any issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help lower the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have originally gotten. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a 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.
