Are you
considering buying a home?
Knowledge
is Power & Data is the Key
Buyers
determine Market Value. Sellers can "ask" anything they
want, but, if the buyer doesn't agree.....No Sale.
Market
Value is defined by "The most probable price
which a property should bring in a competitive and open market
under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller,
each acting prudently, knowledgeably and assuming price is not
affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the
consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing
of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: (1) buyer
and seller are typically motivated; (2) both parties are well
informed or well advised, and each acting what he or she considers
his or her own best interest; (3) a reasonable time is allowed
for exposure in the open market; (4) payment is made in terms
of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements
comparable thereto; and (5) the price represents the normal consideration
for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing
or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale."
Buyers make
the final decision....Is it worth it?
Whether
you will be working with a Realtor or you are going
to brave purchasing a FSBO (For Sale by Owner), buying
a home can be very stressful.
Having
the "ball on YOUR court" gives you a distinct
advantage.
Knowledge
is power and data is the key.

After all...it
is Your Money !
Before you
meet with your real estate agent, determine the most important
amenities. This could be square footage, price, number of bedrooms,
new kitchen, new HVAC system, thermo pane windows, basement, garage,
etc. Independence Data's research allows you to make the best
offer with knowledge of the market.

What does
this information do for you?
The ultimate goal
when buying real estate is to get you the lowest price at the best
terms. Knowledge of recent sales within your neighborhood can save
you hundreds if not thousands of dollars even before you submit a
purchase agreement. You will have the knowledge right in your hands
to support your estimated offer. This information is valuable for
your potential mortgage broker and finally the appraiser who will
be estimating the value of your home. IndependenceData.com provides
all of this information to you in a secure web site-styled report,
which can easily be emailed to your mortgage broker and appraiser,
saving everyone time and money.
Tip:
Give your appraiser a copy of the sales data, your appraisal might get
finished a little quicker as it is appreciated by most appraisers .
Also, the appraiser knows that YOU KNOW about neighborhood home sales.
How long does this take?
The real estate
market can be very volatile. You need your information now, but want
it done right. There are many free, instant-online valuation services
which are computer generated and have limited amounts of information
on the neighboring properties. In many cases, the information provided
is much more dated and irrelevant. Independence Data physically searches
all available property records systems to all data research within
24 hours, 7-Days a Week. It is common to have sales as recent as the
same week or month. Most other data services are 1-4 months delayed.
After you are completely satisfied with your report, we will send
you a CD-ROM the next business day for a "hard-copy".
How much does
this cost?
Generally, in
most areas of Ohio, the fee is $35 per Property Report. (See

savings and receive up to 3 Property Reports and discounts on other
