1. Good day! Steve Sokol, Inc. Appraisers (SSI)
Now more than ever, with the appreciation in home values today, contract negotiations stall
due to an appraisal valuation that comes in below contract price, resulting in months of
showings and mountains of stress for the seller. (Typically, the farther the distance between
the market value and the asking price is usually measured in time in a stable or increasing
market.) The seller can avoid this scenario for a relatively small fee of an appraisal. Let’s
face it, there’s nothing that cuts through emotions of a home than a logically based factual
valuation. The buyers’ would also benefit if they ordered their own appraisal on a particular
property, not only for negotiating purposes but to help them identify just how much money
they are willing to spend on that property.
When negotiations do stall, SSI will analyze the appraisal that was done on the property,
identify any flaws, and research alternative comparable sales that may better support the
contract. SSI has been able to save 99% of the contracts we were hired to investigate, and in
most cases, ensure the seller gets the highest probable price, and realize the buyer a savings
of $10,000 to $20,000; sizable benefits for both buyer and seller.
In conclusion, it is definitely worth the price of an appraisal, which will most likely save you
thousands when purchasing a large ticket item such as real estate.
So, why not call me to discuss your situation and see if I can save you thousands of dollars.
