These are common events in nearly all our lives, and each of them can ignite a desire or need for a change of address. Sometimes it is a abrupt change and you need and a professional can help you expedite the process so you stay focused on your personal goals. Other times it comes as a more gradual but inevitable decision. Sometimes its a lifestyle change, a desire for that vacation of a lifetime or living on a boat. In my years of real estate, I have worked with clients to help them reach their goals, regardless of what they are.

INVESTMENT PROPERTY CYCLES are a little different, less personal and with more tax planning and long range planning.

The Evaluation Process: [symple_highlight color=”green”]So, What is my Home Worth? [/symple_highlight]
The Home Value Estimate is often a first step. Here you can get a general idea of a homes value with an instant valuation estimate. These instant valuations are data driven. This one is powered by a Zillow Tool. The next necessary step is a thorough evaluation by a real estate professional with current and accurate home sales comparisons. here is a quick video of the process using NARRPRs analysis software. This process takes about 45 minutes and can be done on request: http://blog.narrpr.com/learning/sales-comparison-analysis/
This still doesn’t preclude the ON SITE Evaluation of a full time realtor who then factors in rates of absorption, average market times, your timeline, condition, repairs needed, staging, upgrades or other factors that influence market value and marketability.
