I am a seasoned real estate investor with over 20 years buying, renovating, selling and renting properties throughout Eastern Massachusetts. I worked for 12 years as a residential mortgage lender so I am intimately acquainted with the financing process and how banks work. I can even help you find new financing if you need guidance and advice. I buy houses, townhouses, condominiums, multi-family homes, multi-tenanted buildings and even a few commercial properties from owners that need to sell quickly and are looking for a fast cash buyout, without all the hassles typically associated with the traditional home sales process. I go even further by paying all regular closing costs, buying homes in as is condition and closing quickly, typically within 30 days. * We pay cash so there are no mortgage approval headaches. * We pay all normal closing costs so there are no surprises at the closing table. * We buy homes in as is condition so there are no repair or maintenance worries before the sale. * We close fast so you can move on with your life.

An appraisal is an opinion of value, so anything that is expected to boost your home value is likely to work in your favor when it comes to the appraisal. Things like improving your curb appeal, painting, refinishing floors, and taking care of minor repairs are all good investments prior to ordering an appraisal. It’s also a good idea to clear out any clutter and complete a deep clean beforehand to show your property in the best light possible.
Appraisals aren’t required by law to complete a real estate transaction, but it’s unlikely that a lender will allow a buyer to close on a property without an appraisal, so, effectively, they are usually required. Your mortgage lender uses the property as collateral for your loan, and the appraisal is what the lender will base the mortgage on to confirm the value is there to justify their investment.
The average cost of a property appraisal is around $355, but different appraisers in your area could charge anywhere from $250 to $500. Appraisals for larger properties will often cost more, as will valuations for older properties. Appraisers will use homes in the surrounding area to help determine a valuation as well, so if your home doesn’t conform to the neighborhood standards, the valuation will require more work and will likely cost more.
A licensed appraiser is the only individual that can carry out a property appraisal. You should always check to ensure an appraiser you’re considering has the proper licensing from your state. Additionally, since an appraisal is meant to be an unbiased opinion of a property’s value, you should confirm that the appraiser doesn’t have ties to any other party in the sale of the property.
Anyone can hire a property appraiser to confirm the inherent value of a property, but the buyer or buyer’s lender will usually choose the appraiser and pay the individual for their opinion. It’s also not uncommon for the seller’s side in a real estate transaction to hire an appraiser in order to justify an asking price or negotiate a higher selling price.
