You don't need an agent or broker to get an appraisal. In fact an agent arguably has a conflict of interest because a lower priced house will sell faster with little effect on their payout.
- sgc 8y agoI did mention that option. It is funny how some people are upset that agents might want to force the price up, and others that they might want to force the price down. Agents have a fiduciary relationship. They must look out for their client's best interests by law. Some are not great, some are not honest. But that is the same for any field. In my experience most are honest and hard working, but the few with less scruples tend to be the highest volume agents. If someone were looking for an agent, if I knew nothing about anyone involved, I would recommend to start looking with agents with a number of years of experience but just average sales. A large reason for their average sales might just be integrity. Newer agents can be great as well because they will work three times as hard, but they are newer for better and for worse.
