Appraisal services for home sellers - Red Oak Appraisals

Getting an appraisal from Red Oak Appraisals before putting your Edmond home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

More and more OK 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, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult 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.

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

Be a very beneficial negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Lower the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to fall through

It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is a great deal more than they thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally expected. Others have an an inflated assessment when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
