[4]
Bill Doughty how're you doing Bill I'm good over here I have bill is actually
[7]
an appraiser and Bill is gonna give us some tips and tricks on how to get some
[13]
top value for your house if you're gonna be getting it appraised and then we're
[17]
also gonna go and talk about the actual myth of Zillow and redfin and why
[24]
they're a good tool but they're not super super racket all right so we're
[33]
back we're here with Bill they'll give us a breakdown on some of the things
[39]
that people can do when they're about to get their house appraised and some of
[43]
the tips and tricks that you can give them well the appraisers as we're out
[47]
there at the homes inspecting your properties we're looking for the overall
[51]
condition quality design appeal and anything that affects the property
[56]
either positively or negatively you have to remember the appraisers are the eyes
[61]
and ears for the lender so they're out there to observe and report so one of
[66]
the best things you could do is to start with the curb appeal of your home make
[71]
sure that it looks really good as the appraiser drives up to the property and
[76]
then as far as the interior you don't want to do a deep deep deep clean but
[81]
you definitely want to have the house clean and clutter-free to make the
[85]
accessibility of the interior of the home very appealing to the appraiser so
[90]
that he can move around freely observe the quality and condition and features
[94]
of the home and you know get in and out as quickly as possible sure yeah and
[100]
let's go back to the curb appeal because I've done a couple of videos on curb
[104]
trying to give people some information on how they can make their curb appeal
[108]
curb appeal better what are some of the things you look for is that just clean
[113]
or is it like sealants and things of that sort
[116]
yeah you know clean and appealing for the neighborhood that you fit in there
[122]
has been a lot of research around curb appeal it's interesting I've read some
[126]
articles out there that the entryway the front door to your property has a lot of
[132]
additional value to it yeah and we've talked about that in some of the other
[136]
videos that I have that's huge and then now we have the question of the redfin
[140]
and Zillow I'm sure you get this daily daily and I get it daily as well so tell
[147]
me how's Illin redfin work I know we've talked about it off camera a little bit
[151]
how they work and sometimes the misconception of them yes everybody
[157]
thinks their property is worth much more than yes and this one comes up daily you
[163]
know out there in the marketplace customers are always asking about Zillow
[167]
and redfin so Zillow and redfin you used computer generated a logarithms right to
[172]
take those sales data in that neighborhood and come up with a value
[176]
for your home it's using all of the data in the neighborhood neighborhood whether
[181]
it's good or bad so the difference between an appraiser and the logarithm
[186]
is a craze or is actually using current clothes truly competitive properties to
[193]
your property so the appraiser is going to be the more accurate final valuation
[199]
process the Zillow and Redfin are good to get a ballpark estimate of where you
[204]
may be but the appraiser isn't gonna use the comparable that's 5,000 square feet
[210]
versus your 1,200 square foot home when they're out there so right whereas that
[215]
logarithm won't pick up 5,000 square-foot home and put it into
[218]
the mathematics so you guys do the dirty work yes sign this so yeah that's that's
[223]
all good information I appreciate you coming by man but it's really awesome a
[227]
lot of people ask me about this type of stuff a lot so we'll clarify all that
[231]
but as always have the best air live and adios
