Does a real estate appraiser recieve compensation before or after the appraisal of the home?

usually the appraiser will require payment at the time of the appraisal.  Sometimes it can be paid through close of escrow, but it really depends on the relationship between the appraiser and the lender or broker.

I believe you have to subtract the compensation from the true market value. For tax purposes ( as well as any other inquiries) you will need three estimates of "true market value" from certified building appraisers and/or commercial real estate brokers.

If you are looking for a receipt to give to the person donating the furniture, your charities letterhead with a dated acknowledment and a description of what they donated would suffice.  The donor assigns the value based on the FMV of the furniture.  As long as they are not planning on taking over a $5,000 deduction no appraisal would need to be done.

The property is re-appraised based on the permits that get pulled as the final inspections are made and signed off.  So, let's say you buy some land and just put in your sewer and utility lines...you need a permit for those...you will then get re-appraised based on the land now having those features.  If you sell while the house is being built, it will be appraised at the value based on completed permits and work.  It will then be re-appraised when all the work is done.\n\nThroughout, the property owner will receive notices from the county assessor's office advising of the current appraised value and the new taxes that will be due.  You do have the option to appeal if you do not feel the appraisal is correct.

I am a mortgage loan officer and look at appraisals all the time, the good and the bad! Don't worry if the trash isn't taken out or there are dirty dishes in the sink, the house does not have to be spotless, it does have to be in order though. The appraiser isn't there to judge how you live, he/she is only there to make sure things are where they belong, ie the refrig is in the kitchen and not the dining room. They also look to see if any part of the house is undergoing renovation/demolition. They could possible adjust the appraisal if there is a major need for carpet/painting/etc. If the house is in order and everything makes common sense where it is, you should be fine.

Just the fact that the house was put into a trust for you before your aunt's death doesn't automatically mean that you received it before your aunt died.\n\nIt's possible that your aunt put the house into a revocable living trust with herself as both grantor and trustee.  In that case, you would receive the house when she died and you would receive it with a value based on it's value when you received it.\n\nI suspect you will have to pay taxes on any money you made based on that value upon your aunt's death, if the house was sold at a higher price, since you never lived in the home as your own.\n\nI would suggest you see a CPA or tax attorney and bring a copy of the trust document, home appraisal done upon your aunt's death and the home sale paperwork so it can be determined for sure what your situation really is and what you must do concerning the IRS.

I think what you are referring to is a “Short Sale” this is when the lender agrees to a certain amount of money to pay off the loan in it’s entirety or partially.\n\nA person goes in talk to the current owner of a property that is in foreclosure or about to go into foreclosure. \n\nThis person gathers information about the property, by inspecting it for any damage, records this information as well as the cost to repair any and all damage.  Take several pictures of the property to include damage inside and outside the property.\n\nHe then call the lender and request a “Short Sale” indicating all damage to the property cost to cure the damage, back payments that are accumulating on the property, tells them the owner is planning to move which more damage will be done to the property since no one will be living there.\n\nThe lender takes all this into consideration, makes a decision to find out the value of the property do they send a realtor that is familiar to the area out to inspect the property, take a few pictures of the property. The realtor once he has completed his evaluation of the property along with the pictures he has taken send this information to the lender. While the realtor is at the house the person that want to conduct the short sale is there also pointing out any damage they think is important to be included in the evaluation report to the lender.\n\nOnce the lender has received this information, he has to make a decision as to go with the short sale or continue to lose money in the foreclosure, knowing the owner is scheduled to move and a possibility of more damage.\n\nThe lender agrees to the short sale, he and the person putting together the short sale agree on a price of $250,000 as what the lender will take to pay off  the loan and any other fees owed to the lender. The real value fixed up is some where around $330,000.\n\nNow the person putting this sale together goes back to the current owner, tell him a short sale is possible and what does he desire for his equity in the property. They agree on a figure of $10,000 for him to move.\n\nThe person now advertise that a house is available for sale below market value. A buyer emerges to purchase the property. The person selling the house make a deal with the new buyer of $320,000 and a $10,000 toward the repair of the property.\n\nA closing agent is retained to do the closing as well as title company to take care of the title work in transferring the title from the old owner to the new owner.\n\nThe transaction is complete, the closing officer pays the lender $250,000, the past owner $10,000, credit the new owner with $10,000 at closing, and pays the person that put the “Short Sale” together the remaining money of approximately $50,000. Now there is closing cost that someone has to pay so that will have to be paid.\n\nEveryone is happy the old owner got $10,000 to start over as well as his name is no longer on the mortgage. The lender is happy they are paid off, the foreclosure is  over, they don’t have an REO. The person that purchased the house is happy even though they will have to do some repairing of the property they got $10,000 to assist in that as well as $10,000 worth of equity. The person that put the short sale together is happy because he got paid for making everyone involved in the transaction happy.\n\nI hope this is of some use to you, good luck.\n\n"FIGHT ON"

Did you have an appraisal done when you purchased the home? The value of the land should be listed in the original appraisal. Or you might find the land value listed on your property tax bill as they usually list the land and home seperately. \n\nwww.new-orleans.la.us/home/

The previous two answers are NOT correct answers to your question.  They are right in the sense that the Realtors do get 6% (sometimes) on the sale, but the 6% is split between the buyers agent and the sellers agent.  Normally 3%/3%.\n\nA "sellers concession" has nothing to do with a Realtor's commission, but rather what the seller is willing to pay for YOU in closing cost's.  Basically the seller agrees on the contract that they will give you (buyer) 6% of the purchase price of the home to use towards the closing cost's on the mortgage.  Basically, you come to the closing table with nothing out of your pocket.\n\nIf you would like to know some more about this, please feel free to contact me at timothy.kazee@americanhm. com and we can talk through this a little more.  This is my career and my specialty so I have a great amount of knowlege in this area.  Thanks for the question.\n\n\nTim Kazee

This depends on the value of the property in Question.

Legally, the appraiser's client (the lender) is the one that ordered the appraisal for the loan.  Therefore, he is the one that needs to be responsible for the payment.\n\nUsually, the appraiser would want the money at time of appraisal to avoid this type of predicament.\n\nHave you contacted the appraiser to see if he can change the lender's name to the new lender?  The appraiser typically charges a small fee for it, but may be worth it.

It really depends on what type of real estate you want to appraise.  You can do residential or commercial.  Generally its easier to become a residential appraiser.  Residential appraisals GENERALLY range from $200-$500 per job and take anywhere from a day to several days to complete.  Commerical appraisals GENERALLY range from $500-$50,000+ and take several days to several weeks.  There are state licensing requirements that vary from state to state so you should check with your local department of licensing to get the facts.  The Appraisal Institute is a great source for infomation on the industry, classes, requirements, etc.  Good luck!

Distant cousins, sort of.  A real estate appraiser fetches a good guess at what the market price should probably be.  An underwriter is either a banker or an insurance person who determines if the property is worth the risk their company is taking for either financing or insuring the property.  So your underwriter is determining if the company should cough up the cash and your appraiser is estimating the kinds of cash that might total to.  Totally different functions.  A correlation might almost be a stock analyst that tells customers how much company XYZ should be worth, as opposed to the kinds of analysts that tells some rich fatcats how much or if to offer to buy the company out.  The difference is in the details, if you get my drift.

Usually (what I've seen) is that appraisals for property tax purposes break out the value between land & improvements.\n\nGenerally, the appraisals don't reflect anything close to market. Just my opinion.
