Appraisal services for home sellers - Pingdom Check

Selling your home in or near Oklahoma County? Contact Pingdom Check and make sure you're setting the price right.

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

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Going to sell your home yourself?

Quite a few OK 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, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult 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.

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

Give you an advantage while negotiating 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 issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help prevent the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
