How the Home Appraisal Process Works:
There are many reasons why someone might need a Real Estate Appraisal: for Estate/Probate purposes, Divorce, Mortgage, Negotiations between Home Buyers and Home Sellers, Appeals of Real Estate Tax Assessments, Court Ordered, or even government acquisition of property. Whatever the reason is, you can be sure that Sterling Heights Appraisal Service will provide you with a fair, complete, and accurate home valuation. When you call Sterling Heights Appraisal Service you will be greeted by someone who is truly interested in helping you. Depending on the type of home appraisal, we will typically need to schedule a time to come to the home which we can schedule at the time of your initial call. In many cases, we need to come into the home for just a few minutes to see the condition, and amount of updates and upgrades your house has. Things like updated kitchens, bath's and flooring can go a long way and add additional value to your home. Some Real Estate Appraisals require that the appraiser take pictures of the home along with a street view. They will also take pictures of the homes that they will be using for comparables to your home. Depending on the type of home appraisal done, these photos may be included in the final Real Estate Appraisal that you will receive. After our appraiser finishes at the property, they will bring the information back to the office and get to work on the finished product. Typically the property appraisal process takes about 24-48 hours to complete but may be slightly longer should the home appraiser have a difficult time finding acceptable comparable homes. |
How Are Home Appraisals Done
As you probably know, what determines the value of your home is what someone else is willing to pay for it. The appraiser is going to provide his or her professional opinion of what the property is worth. Since your home was probably not sold recently, the appraiser's job is to look at similar homes in your area that have sold recently. They will then make valuation adjustments up or down based on the differences in the recently sold home, versus your home. Typically the appraiser will use anywhere from 3-6 comparable homes that have sold recently in your neighborhood that are similar to yours. After making the adjustments, they will then average out these comparable homes to come up with an accurate home valuation for your property. These adjustments may be for differences in square footage, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, lot size, the age of the home, along with many more items.
It is our job at Sterling Heights Appraisal Service to provide an accurate opinion of the value of the property that you have requested.
