about how much money do realestate appraisers make?

Most appraisers in Texas charge about $300 for a residential appraisal.  In my opinion, given the amount of work that they do, it's a very fair price.  For commercial and raw land appraisals, the prices are much higher.

Hey there, you probably put your listing as real estate, and real estate listings cost $100 dollars for a listing, just list it as another\ncategory.

If you have an agent, have them run a CMA (comparative market analysis) for the property.  This will tell you what other homes the same size, age and location have recently sold for.  From there, you can make a realistic offer.  I've had clients offer full price because of market demands, and I've had clients get $10-20k less because a particular area is slow.  You need more info!  You can email me if you have any further questions.

realtors work for the seller.  If you are the seller, interview several agents and pick one you can work with, you are paying them a nice chunk so they should be more accomodating to you.

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.

Depends on the person.  Two items that affect their income is volume (number of loans they close) and how aggressively they price their loans.  With the real estate market booming and the rates being so low the last three years, loan officers stood to make quite a bit (everyone was buying and refinancing).  Even inexperienced loan officers did well previously. When the market was hot, I saw good loan officers making around the $300,000 mark.  But now things have slowed sales wise and rates have risen (not as many refinances).  Some who made easy money previously have little to no pipeline now.  Its sales - you need to build a referral base and be persistent.  A good loan officer can still make over $100,000 per year.  It can be a tough business (just like any competitive commission sales career).

If you own the home, your bank or mortgage company should have given you a copy of the appraisal.  You can call them and ask for it.  The assessor's office would have the property value as far as what the land is valued at plus any improvements done to it.  This value, however, is seldom what you would use as sell value.

The real estate market is cooling off and so is the mortgage industry.  Proceed with caution.  That said, if you are in a steady low-paying job, you will always regret the chances that you never took.  Besides real estate appraisers are needed during foreclosures also.  I would think that they are not as affected by the market as realtors or mortgage brokers.  Best bet is to have a few months of income saved up.

I am a professional appraiser.  Today appraisals are done by statistical approaches which is why they all spend only 15 min., they all take the parameters needed and leave.  In their offices they make the calculations based on statistics, end of story.  This means that if you consider a mass of appraisals as dots and plot them and compare them in time with real transactions, many dots will be above and below the "real selling price" curve, although as a whole the deviation will still be acceptable.  From a Government standpoint or a Corporation, this is sufficient.  From an individual standpoint where you are one of the dots, it is not acceptable because you are not interested in the mass mean values, you are interested in your particular, very private, and singular, property.  If you want an appraisal which comes closer to the "real expected selling price", perhaps the best approach is to get in touch with a real estate firm that specializes in selling the type of property you have.

The realtor has to submit any offer given to his sellers, so it may be the seller's are greedy and want to wait it out.\n\nThe realtor only makes 6% if he is on the selleing and listing side, and as most things are, it is completely NEGOTIABLE.  In this market when there are more houses than realtors and more sellers than buyers, it is totally negotiable.\n\nAlso remember, in order for a buyer to obtain a loan to purchase that property, it has to be actually WORTH what they're asking for, so chances are they're passing up on good offers.  Just figure they're greedy fools and you're probably being saved a huge headache not having to deal with them.\n\nIf he does get the price he wants, their taxes will be raised, not the surrounding properties.  They may get the benefit of being able to sell higher, but their taxes are based on their worth at the time of their sale and any normal increases.\n\nNo, I don't think the housing market is justified at all.  I moved a year ago from an 1100 sf old piece of junk house worth $850,000 to a place 100 miles away that's 2500 sf and is worth $450,000 .. go figure!  Unfortunately, people will pay stupid prices.

usually 0 - they work 100% commission.  So you get out of it, what you put into it.  A realtor is a tough job though - in California, there are more realtors then houses where sold this year.

Generally no salary. Standard commisions are 6% for the sale of a house.  25% goes to the listing agent, 25% goes to the selling agent,25% goes to the listing broker, and you guessed it, 25% goes to the selling broker.  In any market, the listing agent/broker always make money, since lots of agents can sell the property you have listed.  In supply and demand, always be on the supply side in real estate.

Title companies offer farm lists, and most realtors have the access but dont realize it.  You will probably need to locate a Title Co and see if they sell the information.  Dont waste too much money on this prospect list, its rate of return is probably 1-1000.

I am a mortgage broker. I order appraisals for my clients every day.\n\nThe main things you want to make sure of is that it looks as good as possible. The appraiser will take photographs of the front and back of the house, as well a "down the street" shot to give a good idea of the neighborhood.  He or she will also take interior photos, so clean up as nicely as you can!  \n\nThe other main factor will be the "comparables" . The appraiser will have to list 2 or 3 houses that sold recently in your area.  So if you know of houses in the neighborhood that recently sold and are similar to yours, let the appraiser know... and let the appraiser know which ones LOOK the best from the outside. There will NOT be interior photos of the comparables.  That is really all that can be done on your end. Good luck with your refinance!  If you have any further questions, let me know. My contact info is on my website.

If you want a very rough estimate go to ZILLOW.com and enter the address. Otherwise, if you want to know exactly, hire an appraiser to come out and take a look at their house. They will compare 3 or 4 houses in the same neighborhood and give you the value based on all of the options available. This usually cost between $300-$400.\nGo to your search engine and type "appraisers in" and your city, and theres probably 50 of them avail.
