Bryan, TX — Looking for a second opinion on your home’s value? Enlist the services of an objective, third party Appraiser. You will receive an accurate description of your home’s features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar “comparable sales”.
Appraisals from Seaton
“Having a recent appraisal of your home can be very useful at the negotiating table,” said Kelly Seaton, owner of Verdad Valuation Services. When interested parties see an appraisal, an inspection, a survey, or a map of the home, these serve as additional tools that cut down on the time it takes to close.
Seaton says Verdad Valuation can complete a residential appraisal in as little as one day if necessary, where a narrative appraisal for a rural property could take one week. It all depends on how much sales data is available and how much time is necessary to adequately research the survey, title, and sales of comparable properties.
In addition to answering questions like “how much is my house worth”, Seaton suggests a few other things to consider prior to listing your home. Certain upgrades and remodels may improve the curb appeal, but it may not increase the property value enough to justify your time and expense. You can call him for consultation on which improvements bring the best bang for your buck.
Verdad Valuation steps in and helps make those decisions with you. “While your Century 21 Realtor is detail-oriented and forward-thinking, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount your home sells for,” Seaton said. “An appraiser’s fees are based on time to complete the report, not a percentage of the sales price.”
