FOR SELLERS. Most Sellers are given various types of "CMA's", some of which are just copies of MLS sheets of Sold Properties.
I provide you with a detailed analysis, with price adjustments, and narrative explanations. ALL are compiled on the typical URAR Form Report used by Lenders and Appraisers. FOR BUYERS. Lots of Buyers work with a "Buyer Agent", who is supposed to look out for the Buyer's best interests. I have seen too many cases where that does not occur. In fact, I have been used by attorneys in court as an Expert Witness to give testimony regarding Market Values connected with the purchase of real estate.
Buying real estate is often times an emotional purchase. I will make sure by the use of my expertise that you will pay a fair price for the property you want to buy. Most Buyers think that the Appraiser will protect their interests, and appraise it for its true market value. They are working for the Lender, who wants the Loan, and at times appraise property for what it sells for, not for what it may be worth, compared to other similar properties.
So I will also be there so you don't over-pay, which does occur in the Valley.
