"Being involved with professional athletics..."
“Being involved with professional athletics over the past eleven years has meant quite a few moves for our family. It has also given us the opportunity to work with many real estate professionals in a number of different markets. Missy Jerfita has been by far the most thorough and professional agent we have used to date. She has exercised diligence in finding the right property for us, respecting the price ranges, parameters and location we desired while providing us with the local expertise necessary to ensure good resale and settle in to the community.” “Missy has proven her value time and time again, assisting us with temporary rentals, as well as the purchase of a house under construction. Her deep roots in the community have provided us with proven resources that have facilitated the process and made it less costly. These resources also reach beyond the scope of real estate to ensure a smooth transition to the new community Need to know a great pediatrician? Where to have a 4 year olds birthday party? A great place for dinner? Missy does. If she doesn’t know, she finds the answer, or will use her talented staff to do so.” “Although many real estate agents may do a great job, the difference with Missy is that she truly cares. She cares about doing her personal best, and she cares about doing the absolute best by her clients with integrity and concern. This is what sets her head and shoulders above the rest.” “Working with Missy has been an absolute pleasure, and has taken the headache out of yet another major relocation. In this very competitive market, we recommend her wholeheartedly as a consummate, reliable professional who will exceed your expectations.” Sincerely,
Fred & Kim Miller

About Appraisals >Working With Appraisers
After the buyer and seller come to a "meeting of the minds" on the price of a house, there is one more person who must be convinced that the house is worth the selling price--the mortgage company's appraiser.
The appraiser looks for three similar houses that have sold in the same area within the last several months, and compares the selling prices of these homes with the one that is now on the market. The appraiser makes adjustments to account for the differences in each property, and averages the adjusted prices of the other three homes to arrive at a final opinion of value. In subdivisions or condominium projects where there are many similar properties and numerous recent sales, the appraiser's job is relatively easy. In neighborhoods of older homes that have been renovated or remodeled over the years, it can be like comparing apples and oranges.
If the appraiser's evaluation is lower than the selling price, it can stall the transaction because the lender may decline the buyer's loan because of the discrepancy. A real estate agent can work to minimize potential delays associated with the appraisal process by helping the seller to price the home as close to fair market value as possible.
