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, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of 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.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

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 to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a skilled appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very difficult to be objective about your 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Call attention to any issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an inflated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
