Michael Was Fantastic
"Michael was fantastic! This was our first home purchase and after seeing several homes, we knew we wanted to buy a new home. As soon as we defined our goals, Michael immediately knew where to go. We looked at 3 models, picked one, and the process was smooth from that point to closing. Michael's assistant, Sheri, kept us informed about paperwork and progress towards closing. It was great to know what was going on. The Maher Team threw us a nice housewarming party and the whole experience has been pleasant. We appreciate the efforts of the Maher Team."

About Appraisals >Three Caballeros
When you buy a house or refinance your present home, your lender will ask you to pay for an appraisal to help ensure that the sales price and mortgage amount is consistent with the property's market value. The appraiser will look for "three caballeros" or three "comparables" -- homes that are very similar to the one you are buying -- and will make adjustments to reflect the differences between the properties.
Housing patterns tend to be homogenous, meaning that homes worth $300,000 are usually located in $300,000 neighborhoods. It is important for properties to be within the general pricing patterns of their neighborhoods because over-valued homes, even if they are exceptional, are sometimes difficult to sell at full market price.
This is not the only factor considered in determining the worth of a property, but it is an important one. The buyer or seller may view the property as a home or an investment, but lenders view it in a completely different way. To a lender, property means security in the event a borrower fails to repay a mortgage. Therefore, lenders must know real estate values in order to limit their risks.
