The fast-paced environment that has ruled mortgage lending over the last several years gave birth to many innovations. Many were good, and a number of them less so. And now as the real estate market makes its inevitable correction and anticipated up-climb, some of them are proving to be more harmful than beneficial.
Automated Appraisal Services No Replacement For The People
Computer-generated and automated appraisal services began to make an entrance into the industry over the last few years. While they continue to serve some purpose in certain situations, there are many things these services lacked. Technology can produce a compilation of home prices and sales, but it cannot account for many of the finer points that impact property valuation, either positively or negatively.
Until a computer can perform an on-site walk-through of a property, there will always be a need for a real, human home appraiser. Only a Connecticut home appraiser can come into a home, observe, and ask questions about the improvements that have been made to it; only a real New Jersey real estate appraiser has the ability to evaluate and value or devalue the differences between the home in question and the home down the street that sold at x$.
Most states see stark differences between regions and the prices of homes from one area to another; in a large state like Maine, home to highly diverse property types including everything from luxury beach-front homes that value in the millions and small rural homes worth only a few tens of thousands, it takes a local Maine real estate appraiser to learn and know the applicable standards and values. And then there are other factors that come into play in some local markets that require even more specialized appraisal expertise; for example, often a Texas real estate appraiser will need strong knowledge of farms and ranches whereas in Washington D.C. that type of knowledge is unnecessary.
Finding The Right People For The Job
As a lender abroad charged with a different task, it is not always easy to know what skills and fine-tuned knowledge and experience a local home appraiser might need. Some of this you will learn through the specifics of the transaction and application, but for much of it you will also need to rely on the professional preparation of the home appraiser. Like so much of the details of home appraisals, that is information that a computer cannot generate for you. For that you need to rely on the people in the field that share the same capacity for insight and observation and evaluation as you have.
However, yellow pages and association lists often tell you nothing more than what a computer database will reveal. That is why this website has been designed differently. Here, you can learn directly from each member home appraiser. You can view their complete profile and learn about their affiliations and experience, as well as the home appraisal services they specialize in. You have the opportunity to really get to know prospective representatives before you partner with them, so that you can be sure that human element is accounted for in each and every appraisal you order.
