Q: Can you give me recommendations on how to fix up my house to sell it?

A: Appraisers and Real Estate Agents act differently when it comes to giving advice on home selling tips. We do offer an appraisal called a Relocation Appraisal, which is where we also note helpful selling tips to the property owner in the report. All home selling tips from a Licensed Salesperson or Licensed Appraiser should be regarded as just an opinion to the property owner.  

Q: Why are real estate appraisals important?

A: Because much of an individuals’ or corporation’s wealth lies in real estate, it is essential to the economic well-being of society that the real value of property is understood. On an individual level, real estate appraisers provide an impartial third party assessment of property value to ensure that real estate buyers do not overpay for property and that lenders do not overlend to buyers.

Q: What services do real estate appraisers offer?

A: Real estate appraisal services vary by appraisal company. I.A.I., Inc. - Realty/Appraisal Services offers appraisals (residential/apartments), counseling, consulting, feasibility studies, market analysis, and tax assessment review.
