As a real estate agent working in the the OKC Metro Area, when listing a property for a client, I imagine you will provide your clients with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that lists selected sales in their area as one of the first steps in determining what to set as the “Listing Price". This step is vital if you're going to maximize your client's price and minimize the home’s time on the market.

Homes that are in homogenous subdivisions or neighborhoods in which you may have a great deal of experience selling homes are "simple as pie" to set a price. But even the most experienced agents occasionally are asked to list a "unique" property or one with unusual features for an area. Sometimes you may be asked to list a property that has already been on the market a long time or one where condition/improvements may be an issue. In these cases, it's probably in your best interest to have a third-party's "objective" opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement. That’s where we come in. We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal to help you have an accurate description of a home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar "comparable sales". In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your listings will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

• Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
• Impress potential buyer’s with written proof of a home’s condition inside and out
• Make yourself aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
• Decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through
• Eliminate the wait for the buyer or their mortgage company to get the appraisal done on their own

Many people are surprised to find out that the market value of their home is more than they originaly thought, so investing in an appraisal allowed those people to receive several thousand more dollars than if they had listed without an appraisal. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home NEVER attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing and then you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts.
