Why homeowners choose Real Property Consultants
Homeowners need the service of a Certified Residential Appraiser for a variety of reasons. We know that if you are in a situation where you need an appraiser as a homeowner, you likely have many questions. We are here to work with you every step of the way to provide our assistance and expertise.
Here are some of the appraisal services we provide to homeowners.
1. Divorce, Estate, or Probate
Real estate holdings, whether it is your primary home, second home, or investment properties, are often an individual’s most valuable possession. As difficult as it divorce or estate planning can be, it is critical to have real estate holdings appraised properly and professionally.
2. Assessment Appeals
Do you know how the tax assessor assigns value your property? They often don’t have the time or resources to accurately value each property in their district. Mistakes, though unintentional, do happen. And your tax bill is determined by the assessed value of your property. If you feel that your property is valued too high, you have the right to appeal the assessment.
3. Investment Properties
Whether it is a rental property for cash flow, or a property that will be flipped, an appraisal can provide value before you purchase, while you own, and before you sell. An appraisal can provide the real value of the property, determine the appreciation, or minimize taxes if your property is assessed too high.
4. For Sale By Owner
Many homeowners want to save on the real estate commission by selling their home or property on their own. Putting their house on the market as For Sale By Owner, rather than selling with the help of Realtor, can lower the cost of selling your home, but also takes more effort. A Certified Residential Appraiser can help you determine the actual value of your home – pricing too high will limit the offers that you get and increase the time on market, while pricing too low may mean that you leave money on the table. An appraiser can help you price your property just right.
Process for getting an Appraisal from Real Property Consultants
Step 1. Contact Real Property Consultants via the "Request an Appraisal" form on our website, email, or call us. Let us know some details about what you need.
Step 2. We will be in touch with a quote and to schedule a time to appraise the property.
Step 3. At the property, we will get the information we need for the appraisal. This includes taking pictures, measurements, and notes. We will need access to the entire interior and exterior of the property to prepare an accurate appraisal.
Step 4. At our office, we will compile our notes, perform research on your property and the immediate market, and draft the Appraisal Report.
Step 5. Upon completion, we will send the Appraisal Report to you. This will show the value of your home, and explain the details of how we arrived at the value.
The entire process takes approximately 5 business days. However, we can accommodate urgent requests if you need an appraisal completed more quickly.
We look forward to working with you!
