Getting an appraisal from Ingram Appraisals before putting your 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's worth every penny in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

You, as a homeowner, might be focused on how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. Something is only worth the price another person is offering to pay.

Going to sell your home yourself?

Quite a few Oklahoma homeowners are choosing 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 to get the most you can, what you need is a skilled appraiser.

We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very helpful negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Make you aware of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop
It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is a great deal more than they thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they could have originally netted. Others have an an overestimated impression of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
