Getting an appraisal from CW alamode before putting your Oklahoma City home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

You could be focused on how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth the price another person is offering to give you.

For Sale By Owner?

We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

  • Be a very helpful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Alert you of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help decrease the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to fall through
People are surprised to discover the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
