Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Zink Appraisal Services.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is a step in the right direction. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. Something is only going to sell for what another person is offering to pay.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of Oklahoma homeowners are making the decision 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, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a skilled appraiser. You need an objective opinion, it can be very difficult 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 realistic asking price so your home will attract 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 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 lower the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate
Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

You may have a very experienced agent, but it's definitely a good idea to get an objective third-party's opinion of your home's value before finalizing a listing agreement. Zink Appraisal Services can help. We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal that will let you and your agent have a precise description of your home's characteristics and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales which we typically refer to as "comps" in the appraisal industry.
