Buyers usually walk into a negotiation armed with a website estimate and an agent’s opinion, both of which belong to someone else’s interests. A signed valuation before you make an offer, or before an auction, tells you what the evidence supports and where to stop. Sellers use the same instrument in reverse, to set a price that will survive the buyer’s bank.
Know what the place is worth before you sign.
A valuation is not a building inspection; one prices the property, the other finds its defects, and on a big purchase you want both.
