Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Beta a la mode.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

You, as a homeowner, might be thinking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, the appraisal measures your home's market value. A home is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to pay.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

More and more Oklahoma homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, what you need is a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, it can be very difficult 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very beneficial bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Make you aware of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate
People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is a great deal more than they thought. So taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have originally gotten. Others have an an inflated opinion when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
