Oregon Home Appraisals - Salem, Oregon
If you are going to sell your home you would be wise to invest in a professional
appraisal. Professional appraisals do not cost money, they pay in the long
run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis,
like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle
on real estate values. We are not talking about how much you have invested
in your home, how much you paid for it, or how much you want for it. We are
talking about the true market value of your home.
Professional appraisals are a vital part of most real estate decisions, particularly
those that involve the listing, sale, financing and purchase of real estate.
Appraisers are required to be objective and impartial and to act as a disinterested
third party in developing and reporting their analysis and opinions. For this
reason, the appraiser's compensation is not based on any estimated value or
predetermined value of the property being appraised. A professional appraiser
must also observe the highest standards of professional ethics and adhere
to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice in each appraisal
assignment.
