Putting a house on the market in or near Yamhill County? Contact Oleson Real Estate Appraisers, Inc. and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

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

An increasing amount of OR homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and for the best price, you need a qualified appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it's 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 selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Decrease the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to backslide

It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
