AndyPanda Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Any real estate agent around here is trained in that regard. I recommend Fenix Real Estate in San Antonio Tlayacapan. 331-422-0364. They will give you an honest appraisal without trying to impress you by suggesting too much (or too little, depending on if you are appraising your own or someone else's property, of course). 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside7 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Ask for an Option of Value from a couple of Agents. Remember that your house is only as valuable as the Buyer thinks it is. Since the Covid and lack of visitors etc Lakeside is a Buyers market. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenix is noted for giving high appraisals to get your lisitng. Most real estate companies here are one location operations Century 21 and Coldwell Banker are companies that have many locations and more supportĀ (training and professionalism) and back up than the strictly local companies.Ā 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeside7 Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Some realtor 's seem to be more professional and work more diligently to research previous sales and actually take the measurements of your property and not ask you! Ask a couple of companies. Good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanMexicali Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Why useĀ a non licensed realtor. They don't know much compared to a specialist who does it for a living. They don't know the quality or condition of the structure being looked at;Ā only comparables which is not all that should be consideredĀ in many instances. Ā Notario/s here - San Luis Potosi - use licensed appraisers which know the property values because that is their only job/interest and do it constantly. Talk toĀ a localĀ Notario/a to get a recommendation. Google Translation: "Who can perform a home appraisal? Normally, those who do the appraisal of a home or commercial premises usually have the title of architect or technician, when it comes to land they are agricultural engineers and, in the case of industrial goods, they are usually industrial engineers. 2019 ļæ¼ suitaprest.com āŗblogāŗ who-does-l ...

AndyPanda Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Any real estate agent around here is trained in that regard. And most certainly, the ones that keep their jobs. Brokers would be very unwise to hire slapdash agents. They are in it to make a profit, and untrained, unqualified agents do not make a profit. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanMexicali Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Being owned by a realtor this board; the members should recommend them. My 38 years of buying & selling property in Mexico combined with my wife's extensive experience has us knowing professionals are companies licenced to conduct appraisals and realtors are only used for showing properties and notario/as are paid, by the buyer, the seller has some fees also, to do everything else. There is no need to skirt the obvious and play around with ANY person or company that is not in the above list. Your notario/a will write or if a realtor is envolved rewrite any sales contract youĀ have before you sign anything so both you and the seller are in agreement - nothing omittedĀ or unclear - and useĀ the licensed engineer they use and if they rejectĀ the property etc. your sales contract is void and you'reĀ out no money except a fee. Notario/asĀ tell clients you do not sign anything I have not approved no matter who tries to convinceĀ you otherwise.Ā They also select a licenced surveying company etc. etc. We recently, this Nov. and Dec., helped 2 AmericanĀ buddies of mine buy 2 newĀ apartments here in San Luis Potosi inĀ the same 96 Ā unit - 6Ā - four story buildings,Ā all 3 bedroom 89 sq. mt. units, in a spaciousĀ privada - large grounds but no pool - for aboutĀ $57,000 US on the ground floor with 2 patios and for about $48,000 US on the fourth floor fully finished with granite kitchen and bath. 2 parking spaces.Ā IĀ spent quite a bit of time in the meeting room with them at the Notaria on multiple visits.Ā Both deals were done as described exactlyĀ as I have explained when my wife and I did ours. Nothing has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyPanda Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Then refer to is as an evaluation or market analysis, if you prefer. But appraisal is the word that tends to be used, correctly or not. And without, how would I know what to price my house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Appraisals are done for reasons other than mortgages andĀ listing a property for sale. They are needed to value estates of deceased persons; settle divorces; re- value business property due to mergers and acquisitions;Ā determine valueĀ for tax purposes, etc.Ā Ā In my former life I was a certified appraiser of both real and personal property.Ā Ā 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not NOB so nothing done in NOB applies here. I have extensive experience in antiques and art NOB. There are 4 prices : silly asking price, insurance,auction and what a buyer is willing to pay. I recently bought a set ofĀ circa 1820Ā New England chairs for waaaay over market value because I just had to have them. As a professional looking to buy for profit, I would have bought them for only 10% or less of what I paid for my own use. They look terrific around our dining table and 2 beside a period drop leaf lamp table. I never get tired of looking at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
