Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from ValueTex Appraisal Services.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth every penny 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 local real estate values.

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. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. A home is only worth what another person is willing to give you.
