Getting an appraisal from a la mode, inc. before putting your Oklahoma City home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand their local real estate market.

You could be fixated on how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth the price another person is willing to pay.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of Oklahoma homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, what you need is a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, it's very hard 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Call attention to any issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Help lower the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to backslide

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion 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 gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
