The person who performs this real estate appraisal exercise is called the real estate appraiser or property valuation surveyor. The value as determined by real estate appraisal is the fair market value.
The real estate agents work by linking together the two interested parties and charging a commission for their services. For sales, they charge commission only to the seller but for rentals (i.e. agent managed rentals) the commission is charged to both parties involved in the transaction.
Similarly, real estate investor could do his own real estate appraisal for the expected value of the property in, say 2 years time or in 5 years time. Again, a real estate investor might conduct his real estate appraisal based on what value he/she can create by investing some amount of money in the property i.e. a real estate investor might decide on buying a dirty/scary kind of property (which no one likes) and get some minor repairs, painting etc done in order to increase the value of the property (the value that the real estate investor would get by selling it in the market).
A lot of home seekers (including real estate investors) use the services of real estate agents not just for getting good deals but also getting them quick.
A property seller can possibly get a few thousands more for his/her property by using the advice received from a good real estate agent.
However, it is worth noting that real estate agents work on sellers behalf. So, beware if they are trying too hard to sell a property.
The decision to invest in real estate by a real estate investor usually is taken on the appraisal. It can be done by someone else.
Real estate investments are often termed as low risk investments that can potentially yield good returns. A lot of people think that real estate is an easy business where you dont really need to do anything. However, the truth is that real estate business does need you to put in some effort (if you really want to make profits out of it). The most important thing is to be able to uncover the real estate for sale that will yield profits. So how do you go looking for real estate for sale?
MLS i.e. multiple listing service is often termed as one the best ways to look for real estate for sale. These are published by the real estate boards. If you can lay your hands on a MLS book as soon as it is out, you can really expect to get good deals. The key is to act fast.
