Getting an appraisal from Bales Appraisals before putting your Tulsa 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 an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. Something is only worth the price another person is going to pay.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families 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 assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and for the best price, what you need is a expert appraiser. You need an objective opinion, it's very difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will inform you of 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:

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Alert you of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to backslide

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is much more than they thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they thought they would get. Others have an an overestimated impression when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
