Welcome to realestatevalution.net.au our web site offers a free guide to consumers to the best way to go about arranging a real estate vaution in Australia.

The term real estate valuation is used by a lot of people for actually two different types of services, although they are both related to the value of real estate, it is important to clarify the difference.

One is perhaps better termed a real estate agent appraisal this is the estimate provided by a real estate agents.

If you are considering a real estate valuation because you have been told you need one from a bank or a solicitor, you will be looking to get a registered valuer to provide this type of real estate valuation and this type of service is a paid service.

The fees for a real estate valuer to provide a real estate valuation can vary between $300 up to probably a maximum of about $600 for an average Australian home.

If your property is not just a standard residential property it will require more work for the valuer because what the valuer is basically going to provide to you as part of his or her report is a list of comparible sales to your property that help to explain why the valuer has put x amount as a value on your property.

So the first question to ask when getting a real estate valuation is what purpose is this to serve. 

If you are selling how do you choose the right real estate agent to handle the sale of your property

We can help you to choose the right agent to handle the sale of your property.

You need a registered valuer's real estate valuation when a definitive price is required.

For a registered valuer to provide you with a valuation on your realestate or property you are looking at organizing a paid service. A valuer determines the value of property based upon market conditions at a given time. 

A real estate salesperson's appraisal is only intended to be a guide to pricing when you are considering selling your property.

Appraisals are only intended as a guide to pricing and can be requested from real estate salespeople.

Appraisals are produced by knowledge of the local area and recent sale prices and should only ever be used as an estimate of price.

They are not definitive and have no legal standing. It is rare for an agent to charge a fee for appraisals and they are generally only requested by potential vendors to get a ‘feel' for the local market.

Having said that if the appraisal is done by a good local real estate agent 9 times out of 10 it will be just as accurate as any real estate valuation organised through a paid valuation service.
