In this market, it’s important for buyers to trust their Realtor to guide them to their best offer for their dream home. Too low and you don’t get the house, too high and you’re upside down. I’ve heard the comment before, “I know what it will appraise for” The truth is nobody knows exactly what any property will appraise for. There are too many variables. Any appraiser will tell you that it is not an exact science. The same property can vary by thousands depending on the criteria that the appraiser uses. Stairs, for example can be measured different ways. All of them are legal and acceptable. So don’t put your neck on the line without an appraisal, unless you have deep enough pockets to cover the difference
