A real estate appraisal conducted by a licensed real estate agent is a technical procedure essential for accurately determining the market value of a property. A real estate agent duly registered with the Regional Council of Real Estate Brokers (CRECI) possesses specific knowledge of the local market, industry regulations, and factors that directly influence property pricing. This process takes into account various criteria, such as location, square footage, condition of conservation, construction standard, age of the property, surrounding infrastructure, regional supply and demand, as well as comparisons with similar properties recently transacted. The analysis may also include legal aspects, such as documentation status, urban zoning, and possible usage restrictions. An appraisal performed by a licensed real estate agent provides greater security and transparency to all parties involved, and is widely used in purchase and sale transactions, leasing, estate settlements, asset divisions, financing, bank guarantees, and judicial proceedings. The indicated value reflects the actual market conditions at the time of the appraisal, preventing distortions that could cause losses or hinder negotiations. Thus, the role of the real estate agent in real estate appraisals is essential to ensure fair negotiations grounded in technical criteria and aligned with the actual conditions of the real estate market.
