An Expert Appraisal is Essential to Any Real Estate Decision "Each Home Has its Own Special Set of Value Considerations" As one of just a small number of active brokers in Toronto who is also a certified appraiser, I offer valuable expertise and three decades of direct market experience to my clients. An informed and well-considered appraisal of the home is essential to its successful, smooth and timely transfer, sale, or purchase. When evaluating your home, I carefully weigh a wide array of indicators: Macroeconomic trends. Local economic trends Neighbourhood trends. Street trends Land and Depreciated Improvement Values Past and recent comparable sales Periodic median and average sale prices Supply and Demand/Listing-Sales ratio Prevailing Interest Rates Seasonality Lot Size and Irregularities Lot grade and landscaping Parking and garage Type and style of property Construction. Square Foot Values Condition inside and outside Renovations and features Mechanical Systems. Deficiencies. Improvements Neighbourhood amenities Curb appeal and Overall presentation Then, in the final analysis, I bring hands on, day-to-day practical experience in the Toronto residential real estate market. "Priced too high... the property may sit for months, unnoticed " Sellers sometimes price their property substantially above market value. It is very likely that an overpriced listing may keep potential buyers from seeing your home. Priced too low...you may not see the property's full value In any market the listing price sets an expectation which Buyers use to gauge what they should finally pay.Pricing below market value can be a costly strategy. Do not leave the proper evaluation up to guesswork As a Broker with 31 years of continuous experience in real estate, I am pleased to say that throughout 2009 my listings have traded, on average, for 99.83% of their asking price... within 9 days*. I Understand that our Real Estate Market Changes Daily Experience, statistical research and informed consideration of comparable sales are the essential ingredients to evaluation and will ultimately lead to the successful sale of your home. An effective marketing strategy and astute negotiation are the ingredients that bring you the optimal result. Selling...My objective is to sell your home for the most money, in the least amount of time and with the greatest convenience to you. Buying...Knowing fair market values allows you to make an informed offer on the home you want to buy.
