Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from The Academy Group, Inc..

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 the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. Something is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

Quite a few 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 to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, 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 inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Prevent the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of 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 your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
