Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Elite Appraisals will ensure you get it right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you 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 understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is going to pay.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few Oklahoma homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that it's hard to take an objective look at 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 sound selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help lower the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they thought they would get. Others have an an exaggerated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
