Our
objective . . . to determine the valid and dependable value range
for the home you want to buy or sell. This information lets you make
knowledgable decisions on price. |
|
Three
skills are essential to determine a legitimate value range from
sold comparables: |
| |
 |
See
homes: Homes can be seen by showing buyers, previewing or touring. |
| |
 |
Negotiation:.
Nose-to-nose and toe-to-toe price negotiations with buyers and
sellers. |
| |
 |
Appraisal
science: Number of courses taken in the field of appraisal science. |
| |
If
any of these skills are missing in your evaluation, the results will
likely be flawed. |
|
After
the three skills are applied to determine the range of value,
then forcasting is used to analyze which way market values
are headed--up, level or down. |
 |
Some
important realities about appraisals are as follows. The
lion's share of the appraisers much prefer to support price
agreed to by a buyer and seller, rather than set a price
without a sale. If you order 10 appraisals you will get ten
different
numbers. Which is correct?
Where in the range of value is each number? What is the big picture? |
 |
Overstating
or understating the value range does not serve your best
interest. It is served by accuracy. If reliable information
does not meet your
needs, you have a choice--accept market reality or wait for the market
to change. |
