Putting a house on the market in or near Oklahoma County? Contact Crowe Appraisals and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

Going to sell your home yourself?

Quite a few OK homeowners are making the decision 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, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a astute selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Make you aware of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to fall through

People are surprised to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

Get a professional value opinion before listing

You may have a very experienced agent but it's definitely a good idea to have an objective third-party's opinion of your home's value to signing a listing agreement. Crowe Appraisals can help. We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's characteristics and a detailed breakdown of the newest and similar comparable sales which we typically refer to as "comps" in the appraisal industry.
