Putting a house on the market in or near Muskogee County? Contact Keeling Appraisers and make sure you're setting the price right.

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 makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. Something is only going to sell for what another person is willing to give you.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

More and more Oklahoma homeowners are deciding 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, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a expert appraiser. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it's difficult to take an objective look at your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very valuable negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers 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 hold-up a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
It can be surprising to people when they find out 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 several thousand more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
