• It’s always a good idea to review the assessor’s evaluation

• Many times the values will be off from actual market value but it’s good to know if the evaluation is in the “ball park”

• Never rely solely on the assessors opinion

Foreclosed/Bank Owned PropertyForeclosed/Bank Owned Property

• If a comparable is a Bank Owned property, this needs to be considered and may require adjusting

Study the Market ResponseStudy the Market Response

• No matter how great research is, putting a house on the market is the best way of evaluating how real buyers respond.– How many inquiries have there been?– How many initial showings?– How many of these buyers came back for a second

look?
