Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from OK Appraisals.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

In today's ever-changing market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the top way to get an accurate listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your house, then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays similar sales houses in your area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market.

But even if you've been working with an accomplished real estate agent , it's in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

That's where we come in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

OK Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in buyers, and we can also:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have found a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your home's quality inside and out to wow potential buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing
Cut down the chances of unknown messes that can cause sales to go up in smoke
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close.

Home improvements that add value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your home. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. Unlike an agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
