Value & Anxiety

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Evolution - 447 Boston Street, Suite #5, Topsfield, MA 92593-B

Everyone has an opinion of the value of your home and it is a source of anxiety for many people. The graphic below gives a good humorous view of how you others see the value of residential Real Estate. BUT, the graphic left out the Real Estate Agent. The selling Realtor® seeks to get the highest price they can for their client while the Buyer Realtor® is looking to get the best deal for their client. 

Sellers may get anxious during the bank appraisal hoping to have the property appraise at, at least the agreed upon selling price. And a homeowner may get anxious, at times, at the assessed value of the property,  for taxation purposes. 

2 transactions ago I received 3 offers at the same price but different terms, The seller chose the buyer with the best terms. When the bank appraisal took place I provided 3 comps, informed and showed the appraiser that we had received 3 offers for the same money. I was surprised when the appraisal came in nearly $10K lower. We asked for a review and 2nd appraisal and were denied. Buyer and Seller came to an agreement.

I thought the graphic was a humorous one and maybe a bit truthful. Thank you for following me

Hi Doug Dawes - I have to laugh because I actually review this concept in my presentation with buyers and sellers.  I call it; "talking them off the ledge"!  Great Stuff! Have a wonderful Sunday.

I love that graphic, Doug and it makes me smile everytime I see it. I am glad you were able to reach agreement with the buyer even thought the appraisal was low.

Hi Debbie Reynolds 

Even at that the lower price the seller still received more than he thought he would. The graphic funny.
