Consider working with an agent; in order to determine a fair offer, review comps with your agent, recently sold similar properties in the immediate area, see what the data suggests and go from there; keep in mind that if a property is priced on target for today's market, or slightly below multiple offers may occur. As for the process, a short sale occurs when an owner has proven hardship to the lender and can sell for less than owed on his/her mortgage; the owner can accept whatever offer he/she wishes, but the lender decides to accept, reject or counter offer; short sales are by no means fast sales, much will depend on the number of liens involved, who is negotiating the sale for the owner, will the seller provide the lender all necessary/required paperwork in a timely fashion, etc.... more

As we speak I have 2 short sales in and near that area that due to the circumstances are very very buyer friendly priced. Staten Island is a very safe area. As a former NYPD Sgt I can vouch for the fact that there is very little crime on Staten Island and all neighborhoods have many positives. I know I can help you. Feel free to call for expert professional advice from a native islander that loves his home town. Thanks Tom 718-598-0905... more
To appraise real estate is to estimate its value. Although there are many types of value, the most common objective of an appraisal is to estimate market value, the most probable sales price of the property. One of the most common errors made in valuing property is to assume that cost to build represents market value. Cost and market value are most often equal when a newly constructed house is being appraised. When the last house in a new development has been sold the market value may go up because those who want to live there will have to compete for whatever homes become available. Ultimately the public sets the price, supply and demand is an important factor.... more
