Main Real Estate Do’s & Don'ts
(in progress)

Subject: Valuation

DO:

bullet

for Sellers:

Properly value your home prior to listing. This is one of the most important things a seller needs to do. For the best valuation, you should consider getting an appraisal. Only licensed appraisers are qualified to perform this task. A real estate agent who is not licensed as an appraiser, will be only able to do a comparative market analysis; this is not as valid as an appraisal. Suggestion: Take the time, and do it right.

(Note: Good news! I am an appraiser, and I’ll help.)

for Buyers:

Work with a Realtor-Appraiser. You’ll be given the best information about the value of property you desire.

for Sellers:

Consider a home inspection if your home is aged or if you want to expedite the sale of your home. A home inspection will help you better see home deficiencies (if you have any). By correcting these before listing, you’ll be able to better market your home and overcome any issues a purchaser would have had.

The time and aggravation you can save is astounding. Plus, you’ll generally be rewarded with a higher sales price!

Consider painting and decorating for a brighter look.    
Generally, neutral colors and decor are preferred.
