Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from ABC Appraisal Service.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a step in the right direction. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand their local real estate market.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. At the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is offering to give you.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

An increasing amount of Oklahoma homeowners are choosing 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, quickly and for the best price, what you need is a qualified appraiser. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very difficult to take an objective look at 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 to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Make you aware of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help lower the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate
Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
