Contacting a local real estate agent for a free market analysis is o.k., however there may be some underlying ulterior motive when it comes to giving you a fair market opinion of value.

  Many online services can be as far off as much as 25%, it's a nice toy but do you really want to play around with your investment?  No WEB SITE regardless of size or appearance can perform an accurate opinion of value.  When determining a value on an item as important as your home, physically reviewing the home is step one.

  Appraisal's are an opinion of value, it is not a guaranteed selling price.  Depending on their local knowledge will determine their accuracy.  True Value of any home or property is what a ready, willing and able home buyer is willing to pay for your home.

  Overpricing and working your way down with price reductions is a popular practice with home owners, however this will extend your market time.  Too many price reductions will make your appearance to the market to be disorganized and simply unaware of the true value of your home. 

  Remember you have one chance to make a first impression to the market, show them you have done your research, leave a copy of the appraisal or BPO out to review during showings.

  We prefer for you to find an independent opinion of value to avoid any conflicts of interests.
