Getting an appraisal from Tom Kvinta & CO before putting your Harris County home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

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

More and more TX homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a qualified appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult 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 can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very valuable negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

It can be surprising to people when they find out the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an inflated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
