Hamid’s Experience as a Former Licensed Appraiser

During the early 2000’s with the property values on the rise, the appraisal issues were causing many sales contracts to fall through. Although the buyers were willing to pay the full asking price, but the appraisals would continually fall short of the contract amount. To overcome this issue, Hamid decided to go ahead and obtain his appraisal license in order to know the property appraisal system and discuss the contract and appraisal issues with the appraisers in their own language. This proved to be very helpful during that period and served as a valuable tool for Hamid throughout his career.

Regardless of what position Hamid held, he has always established a unique approach to serving buyers and sellers of real estate. For sellers, he offers his education and experience along with his expertise as a former licensed real estate appraiser. This is a tool that helps Hamid in his valuation and pricing of properties before listing them. This is very important to the sellers because if their property is overpriced, it will most probably not appraise for buyers to qualify for a loan. Overpricing could also result in the listing to receive minimal showings, staying in the market for a long period of time and becoming a stale listing. On the other hand, an underpriced property obviously means a financial loss to the home sellers. Knowing that there are very few Realtors have who have the experience both as a Realtor and appraiser. The buyers also benefit from this by not overpaying for a property.
