ADVICE FOR HOME BUYERS
A home is the benchmark investment of
many people's life. Whether expanding your current home, purchasing a
vacation home, or investing in additional property each step of the
process is complex and challenging if done on your own.
There
are multiple parties involved in the transaction generally starting with
the Real Estate Agent. The mortgage broker will play a role, but in the
end, who is there to insure that the value of the property is supporting
the transaction?
An appraisal is the supported estimate of what a buyer should be
responsible for paying or a seller in receiving. The role you play
should require an independent certified opinion from an appraiser to
solidify your investment.
By using a company that does not profit from the sale of your house, you
guarantee that the incentives otherwise felt to increase or decrease the
value will not leave you, the consumer, with bad debt or unmanageable
properties.
Usually your lender will pick the
appraiser for you and contract with him to do your appraisal. However
you are in control of this transaction too. Tell your lender to call
Sound Appraisal and use our services. You can be assured that the price
you are paying for your new home is supported by the market if you get
our accurate and fast appraisal reports.
It is also beneficial to you to have the
opinion of an independent appraiser when buying a home from a FSBO (For
Sale By Owner), because at times the price of the home includes the
sellers emotional attachment to it rather than its true value.
Buying a home is usually the most important and invested decision a
person will make in their lifetime, any added steps taken by you will
protect and insure your time, money, investments and most importantly,
your piece of mind.
