This educational real estate video is about protesting your tax value on your home. Usually your tax authority will send you an assessment sometime around the beginning of the year telling you the amount of money they are assessing your homes value at. This will determine the amount that they will tax it at for the year. If you think that they assessed your taxes on a higher value you would want to have a trusted Realtor run an advanced market assessment of your homes values compared to recently sold similar homes so that you can have data that supports your decision. This can result in a major savings for you on your taxes.

During the process of buying a home with a mortgage the lender will send out an appraiser to assess the value of the property as compared to recently sold comparable properties. The appraiser will adjust his or her value based on the value assigned to the specifics of the subject property and determine a reasonable value of what the property should sell for in it’s present condition.

This residential real estate video is about how you can determine a homes value. This is useful if you’re trying to sell your home so that you’ll be able to determine where you should price the home and if you’re buying you’ll be able to determine what you want to offer on a home you’d like to buy. Keep in mind that real estate is hyper local which means that your home might need to be priced completely differently than a home four streets over. Things that can effect a homes value is the local job market, local mortgage market, interest rates, mortgage availability and the political climate. Most people use Comps (Comparative Market Analysis) to determine a homes value. Comps are useful because they look at similar homes in the same area that have recently sold to help you better gauge what the current climate might be like. Comps can be dangerous though because it’s only looking at the past sales figures and not accounting for the future. You’ll want to make sure you have a real estate expert looking at the past and future real estate market trends in order to help you make the best financial decision for you and your family.

This educational residential real estate video is about marketing your home in order to sell it for maximum profit. One of the most important factors to consider in order to get maximum profit out of your home is how it’s positioned. You want the home positioned in such a way as to elicit the response from home buyers that it is positioned at the top of the market. This can be accomplished in part through home staging, which can make the home look as best as it possibly can be. You also want to focus on how you will negotiate on this home. Be conscious of how you are communicating to your prospective home buyers. You also want to create a large pool of home buyers in order to be able to identify the one home buyer that can’t live without your home. Once you’ve accomplished these three things you’ll want your Realtor to communicate this to as many people and places as possible. Use all the major real estate websites but don’t forget to take advantage of the free sites too.
