Appraisal services for home sellers - Barnes Appraisal Company

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Barnes Appraisal Company.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; 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 difficult for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Selling on your own?

More and more OK homeowners are choosing 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 for top dollar, you need a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

Be a very helpful bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Make you aware of issues and eliminate 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 their home's value is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
