Selling your home in or near Collin County? Contact Lighthouse Appraisal Group LLC. and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value. Technically, something is only worth what another person is offering to give you.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more 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 if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, 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.

In addition to helping you set a sound selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very beneficial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
  • 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
  • Lower the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to fall through
It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is higher than they first thought. So taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an exaggerated assessment of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
