Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Aaron Scott at Appraise OK

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 more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Appraise OK actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's price value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is sitting still on the market.

With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely hire a certified and knowledgeable appraiser to get a true listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to sell your home, then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes competing sales houses in your town. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the house's time on the market.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before signing a Listing Agreement, even if you have been working with an experienced agent.

And that's where Appraise OK comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

We're also experienced in helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will entice buyers. A qualified appraisal from Appraise OK can:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you find an interested buyer
Wow potential buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Eliminate the question of how many square feet I actually have
Cut down the chances of unknown issues that can cause your sale to break down
Possibly do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements that add value to your home

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your home. Ask yourself "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
