Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from O'Farrell Group LLC will ensure you get it 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 the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

Appraisals are valuable tools for people selling without an agent

Quite a few UT homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent.

We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a astute asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Alert you of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
