If you are thinking of listing your property for sale by owner or with a real estate agency, you may want to get your property appraised first by a licensed real estate appraiser.  By establishing a fair market value for your property, you can save time and money since your property will be fairly priced.  This will ensure that when the buyer applies for a loan, the property will appraise out for the sales price.  Your property being fairly priced will sell more quickly and not sit on the market since it is overpriced.  An appraisal will also ensure that you get the full fair market value for your property.

A licensed real estate appraiser can provide this service so contact my office if you have any questions.

Looking to make improvements to your home or buying something special for you or your family, a home equity loan may be the right choice for you.  If you have equity in your home, you can borrower against that equity and get a tax savings when you do.  Interest charged on equity loans may be tax deductible which a tax consultant can explain to you.  My office can perform an appraisal for your lending institution or give you a market analysis to determine if you have equity in your home.  Call me if you have any questions or need a market analysis on your home.

If you are thinking of listing your property for sale in the coming months, a market value appraisal performed by a certified residential appraiser is a great marketing tool to have.  This will give you the fair market value of your home as determined by a professional appraiser which will cut down on the negotiation in selling price with a potential buyer once listed for sale with a realtor or for sale by owner.  Having the correct listing price will help expedite the sale of your property and minimize days on market.  Selling your home quickly and having the knowledge and comfort knowing you sold your home for the maximum price is what you will have once you receive a market value appraisal on your property.

Contact my office is I can be of service to you or answer any questions you may have concerning residential appraisals.

Many people have put off selling their home to buy a new home due to the recent downturn in the real estate market.  Instead of buying a new home, now may be the time to tap the equity in your existing home to update and renovate your home.  Contractors are looking for work and now may be a good time to get competetive bids on home improvement projects.  Interest rates are still at an all time low, so getting an equity loan to make home improvements may be a very good idea.  This will help to increase the value of your home which you can use in future when you may decide to sell.

Contact my office if you have any questions.

Have a good day and new year.

With many towns and cities having undergone recent revaluation for tax assessment purposes, you may have questions concerning the assessed value of your property.  If you feel your assessment is incorrect, please contact myself or someone in my office for advice on your need for an independent valuation of your property to determine your fair market value.  You may be able to save significantly on your taxes if your assessment if not correct.  Call or email me with any questions you may have.
