Texas A Place to Call Home

 An Appraisers point of View !!!!!

What does this mean can it make a difference in the sale of your property or when you purchase a property?

Yep it sure does make a difference, you see his or her opinion will make or break the deal all the way around. If your property does not appraise for the amount agreed upon in the contract then guess what the buyer has a few choices and so do you as the seller. And either way you go most of the time neither party is a happy camper.

Choices that can be made:

1. Buyer can come to the table with the difference between what was agreed upon and the appraisal value.

2. Seller can drop the price to what the appraiser says the value is.

3. You can get another appraisal which takes time and usually comes out the same.

4. The Deal is dead because the buyer can not finance a property that will not appraise for the asking price, The lender will not give the extra money needed to meet the contract price.

Take a moment to view this short video on an appraisers point of view. He gives and interesting thought on what it is that He sees and what makes a difference to him. After viewing let's move onto several more factors. See you back here in a minute or two.

What works now in an appraisers point of view

Ok know that you are back let's talk about what he said and how it made a difference to him. He said he is looking through the eyes of the buyer, So what does that mean to you as the seller? Take a step back and look at your property what do you see?

He mentioned a few items such as is the property maintained, clean, drive up appeal, updated fresh paint ect...? On the updated part he also mentioned one factor that many do not consider. It is better to be the lower end of the properties for sale on the block than the best one on the block. That must mean do not over improve your property for your area. That is where we come into the picture either from a buyers stand point or the sellers stand point either one we are here to help you set your price or help you make the best offer.

Either way you look at this as a seller you do not want to set your price to high and then the  appraiser comes back and says to you well the your property appraises for less than what you expected it to be. No one wants to hear those words ever.

As a buyer you most likely have gone through a fair amount to get to the point of the appraisal, such as inspections, surveys, all the paper work to get to this point only to hear the property you have set your heart on getting did not appraise at the value you wanted it to. No one is a winner here.

Give us a call today and let's talk about how to set the correct value on your property what updates will most likely bring you the best dollar for dollar value and what the potential buyer will be looking at when they arrive at your property.

And as a buyer pick up the phone and let's talk about what it is that you are looking for in a property that you would like to call home. WE know the area and can help you find just what you are looking for.

TEXOMA IN BLOOM

Texoma is a great place to live work and play. Here are a few reasons to give us a call and relax all weekend long right here in Texoma.

Quite day in the woods.

Small yellow wild flower stop and smell the flowers in Texoma they are here and they are just beautiful. This is what I see when I am out and about checking the cattle.

Here is my paint cow she is just awesome grazing and enjoying the day in Texoma.

Give me a call and let's talk about what Texoma Real Estate has to offer you. There are alot of wonderful places you can slow down and smell the wild flowers and raise a few head of cattle for yourself. An eleven acre spot will work just perfect. Eleven acres you say why did i use that number well here is why to have an Agricultural exemption you need 11 acre. One acre for the house and ten acres for the rest of the land you must have at least ten acres and the county will take the house and one acre of the equation thus you will need eleven acres.

Here is one more reason to Visit Texoma

The lake LAKE TEXOMA THAT IS. You see we just about have it all here so give us a call today. You can reach us at 903-564-5911 or 903-271-4978 this number can receive text messages.

We are looking forward to hearing from you and helping you with all of yourTexoma Real Estate needs.

Texas is a place to call home every day of the year.  

Why hasn't my home sold?

I have it on the market with a Real Estate Agent!

Are you asking your self the above question why has my home not sold? Well first off this is your house yes but we must remember this is a commodity that you are selling. So take a step back and really look at your house stop looking at is as your home. Take a long objective look at what you see. Take a pen and paper with you as you begin to look at what you see make notes look at this as a buyer might look at it. Leave the emotions of what you think you have out of it just plain look at the property as a buyer would look at it. Yes I am sure you have put alot of love into the property you have on the market but leave that out of the equation.

As you begin the process of just looking at the property what do you see?

1. Is it clean I mean really clean?
2. How does it smell when a potential buyer walks into the property?
3. Are there problem areas that you may need to address such as a leaky faucet?
4. Is the property cluttered such as magazines laying around to much on the cabinets?
5. Is the property too personalized or are the potential buyes looking at the property or your things such as antique furniture family photos ect... ?
6. Drive up appeal take a drive and stop and see what you are looking at from the street. Is the yard mowed trees trimmed walk way clean, is the yard well lighted at night?(remember drive up appeal is the first thing a buyers sees so give it all you got and make the property stand out)

If you can say yes this is all done and your property is still not selling then we need to address a few more factor. And this may be the point that you look at giving me a call and we can talk in more detail. I am here to help you with all of your Real Estate needs, Filip Properties is a Full Service Real Estate Brokerage serving all of Texoma, being Grayson, Cooke,Fannin and Northern Collin Counties. We are your Texoma Real Estate source.
