I am a licensed real estate appraiser, since 2004. I've lived and worked within the Travis and Williamson County area for 43 years. I am very familiar with the Austin and surrounding real estate markets. Serving Travis, Williamson and Hays Counties. My primary focus is single family residential properties. I do not do commercial appraisals, or land surveys. Pricing depends greatly on what level on information is needed within a report. Prices generally range from $200-$400 for a complete report. My services include standard full appraisals, pre-purchase, pre-listing, date of death, tax protests, divorce, desktop reports, and drive-by reports. I also do measurements only. Please be aware, as an appraiser I am paid by you, the client, to provide a unbiased report. I do not provide a specific value that may or may not be favorable. Market data is used to determine and support the opinion of value for a property. Thank you for your consideration.
"Dale was exceptional in his service. He was prompt, courteous and thorough. We felt confident in his comprehensive report."

"AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!! Have never met more of a condescending appraiser in my life. If you want somebody with a giant ego who will personally insult you, call you a retard, won't even consider any evidence you have related to the property in question, then use this guy. When asked to consider the evidence, Ed said, "Obviously I know more than you." When I complained about throwing away $850 on his appraisal due to his refusal to even consider the evidence we had, he said, "Yes you did but not to me retard." Ed Aiken is just a terrible person. "

Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they’ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.
Real estate agents work on commission, so the cost of hiring an agent will depend on the cost of the home you’re buying or selling. The listing contract should include information about the commission for both agents, which is usually 6 percent of the sale price in total or 3 percent per side. With an average national home value of around $440,000, the typical commission per agent is $13,200. However, you won’t pay this total out of pocket. Instead, the commission comes out of the sale price of the property.
Interviewing real estate agents is the best way to find the right person for the job. Consider asking the following questions to find the best agent for you:
How will you show my property?
Will you do open houses to market my home?
How will you handle dual agency (representing the buyer and you as the seller)?
Should I make repairs to my home before listing?
Will you get professional photos taken of my home?
What is the best price you think we can get for my property?
How long do you expect the sale to take?
You don’t legally need a real estate agent as a buyer, as you can represent yourself, but you should always hire an agent as a home buyer. A professional real estate agent will have access to local MLS services to find homes that meet your criteria and needs, can connect you with other professionals—like a mortgage broker and real estate attorney—you’ll need for the purchase, and can often negotiate a better price for your home to help save you money. Plus, as the buyer, your agent’s commission comes from the seller’s proceeds from the sale of the home.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
