Impacting Home Values Is the Real Estate Industry Heroes or Villains? (Video Blog)

Impacting Home Values Is the Real Estate Industry Heroes or Villains (Video Blog)

In this Video Blog this will be the beginning of discussion on how values are determined for your home. There are many factors involved in home valuation so please stay tuned for the second part of this series. In this episode I cover.

  • Marketing remarks in the MLS
  • Buyer reaction
  • Importance of leaving proper descriptions and notes for the Appraisers
  • Agent responsibility

In thinking about this topic, keep in mind that a rising tide raises all ships so the homes in average condition have more to gain if the homes in superior condition are no longer robbed of their true appraisal value.  For those of us who have to deal with the “Bad Listing Photo of the day” hope of anyone taking initiative may seem far, but in the spirit of a positive attitude, discussion can help move an issue forward.

This discussion is in part an effort to raise the bar in the industry. You can follow some of the industry discussion taking place in real time on Twitter by following the hash tag #RTB.

Below is the link to the original question, followed by a Video Blog response. Whether you can agree or disagree, please comment in below.
