Appealing Your Tax Assessment?

Home values have been dropping all over the country, yet many local tax assessments do not reflect that change.

• In most communities real estate taxes are based on an ad valorem (“according to value”) assessment of your property’s value.
• If you believe the assessed value is unfair, you may have the right to appeal the assessor’s valuation. Many assessment appeals can be resolved with a telephone call or letter to your local assessor.
• If a dispute is carried beyond this point, however, you may want a professional appraiser to give you an independent opinion of value to bolster your appeal to the assessor.

More and more homeowners today are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) without the help of a commissioned real estate agent.  Selling your home FSBO can end up saving you a potential “hefty” commission (industry average is 5-7% of the home’s selling price).  Plus with the internet and Licensed Real Estate Appraisers, many FSBO sellers feel that they have more control in the process of selling their home. Keep in mind that selling your home on your own will and does require a significant amount of "homework" if you're going to do it right.  A professional appraiser from Appraisal2day is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

If you’re working with a real estate agent to list your property, more than likely  they’ll provide you with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that lists selected sales in your area as one of the first steps in determining what to set as the “Listing Price".  This step is vital if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home’s time on the market.

But even if you're working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement.  And that’s where we come in.  We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar "comparable sales" or as they're commonly called, "Comps".  In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

• Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
• Impress buyer’s with written proof of your home’s condition inside and out
• Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
• Decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through
• Eliminate the wait for the buyer or their mortgage company to get the appraisal done on their own

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold.  Others have an inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell.  An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts.
