Getting an appraisal from Foundation Appraisal before putting your Tulsa County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, 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 have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.
