What the Heck is the Property Worth?

Ever wonder how it is that you can ask your trusted Realtor how much a property is worth and their number varies so much from the Appraiser who actually appraises the property? Do you think it’s possible you could hire 4 different Appraisers to evaluate a property and come up with 4 different values? It is possible but WHY?????

Can you trust Zillow? What other free home valuation websites are out there? What information can you get off of public records to help you determine a home’s value? What criteria are most important in determining the value of real estate? Is it square footage? Number of bedrooms? Number of bathrooms or the age of the home? What about the quality of the home compared to all of the homes in the same neighborhood?

How do foreclosures and short sales in the same neighborhood affect the appraised value of your home or the home you want to buy?

This month at REAPS we are hosting “How In the World Do I Determine the Value of A Property Workshop”!!!!! This is a HANDS-ON MEETING.

We will have a panel of agents, investors and appraisers and put them each to the test of valuing several properties LIVE while YOU watch. We’ll uncover exactly how they do it, what tricks they use online to find information and what criteria each of them consider ‘important’ to determining value of real estate.

The participants won’t know ahead of time the properties we’ve chosen and will have the same time to complete their research and then they will report back to the audience their problem-solving methods!

Most importantly YOU get to play along in the audience. We’ll have wifi for all of you so you can bring your ipads, laptops and smart phones and we’ll put you to the test too. We'll have door prizes for the people in the audience who participate and come closes to the experts in the room.

What happens at a REAPS meeting? A lot! Doors open at 6:00pm in to our amazing networking room. Meet vendors and other members and see what kind of people join REAPS. Food is served and the company is great. Pose a question about real estate to any of our volunteers at the Genius Bar or attend our Orientation at 6:30pm where we cover all the reasons why REAPS is one of the best Professional Associations in the nation for real estate investors. At 7:00pm our make your way into the ballroom for our jam-packed main meeting with your host and President, Katherine Swanberg. Watch as members announce what they have and what they need during the “Haves and Wants” round. Learn about the current real estate market during our Market Update.

    Hi Katherine,

    I just signed up for this meeting as a first-time guest, and I'm both excited and nervous! I'm very early in my learning/planning stage as a real estate investor, but this seems like a great opportunity to get my nose out of the books (and my eyes off a computer screen) and jump in to the "networking" part of the business. 

    Will you be there? 

    And one more question: If I join REAPS after attending this meeting, can I apply for the 2 PHP credits that this meeting offers?

    Thanks so much!

    Jennifer

    Just following up, @Angelique Tinney! I came to the meeting and really enjoyed it. Our table even won one prize and ALMOST won another. :) I can see how I will learn a lot from every meeting. By the time I arrived, the venue was so crowded (in a good way!) and you were so busy that I didn't interrupt you to say hello. Next time I'll come really early and say hello. Thanks for running a tight ship and thanks to anyone else who was there for making it all interesting! I'll be back.
