Putting a house on the market in or near Dutchess County? Contact Oakmont Appraisal Company, 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 pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

  • Alert you of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help prevent the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they thought they would get. Others have an an overestimated assessment of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than waiting on the market for months.
