   1. Evaluation method

      O:  We are using the knowledge and experience of our realty specialists and appraisers to work up all the evaluations.

      During the evaluation following attributes are taken into account:
      • location, prize maps, demographic indicators
      • calculations involving important attributes of your realty
      • previous purchases of realties similar to yours
      • development of the realty markets
      • opinion and experience of our experts

      As you can see, there are many attributes important for making up the evaluation. But you can affect the accuracy of our evaluation as well, by making the description of your realty as accurate as possible.

      The price you get is a current price, that´s the price which is common in the region for realty such as yours in the time of elaboration of the estimation.

      But you must be aware that the price you get is an estimate and likely price - the exact sum you get depends on the bargain you strike with the potentional buyer and on the terms you negotiate.

4. The accuracy of the evaluation

   1. You sent me a price which is not correct, not accurate. I purchased the realty for a different sum of money. Another estimator or estate agent put on a different price of the realty.
      A:  While judging the evaluation we sent you, you should be aware of several facts
      • there are several ways to estimate the realty and different types of prices: determined price using the public notice of Ministry of Finance, reproduction price, price derived from proceeds and common prize. These prices of the same realty might be quite different
         
      • we send you a common price, here is the definition according to Czech statutory text (free translation):
        Common (current) price is a price that would be achieved in a sale of the same realty estate (eventually similar to this one) in a common commercial intercourse on the date of the evaluation. In the evaluation are all the conditions concerning the realty taken into account. Excluded in the evaluation are exceptional circumstances of the market, personal conditions of a seller or a buyer nor influence of particular popularity. Exceptional circumstances of the market are for example distress of a seller or a buyer, effects of natural disasters etc. Personal conditions are family, property and others types of relationship between a buyer and a seller. Particular popularity is a special value attributed to the realty estate sequent upon personal favour to the realty estate.
        
        As you can see in the lines above - common prize we sent you is valid only in the the same region and relatively shortly after the date of the evaluation. The price may change during the time, there are other conditions that may change it.
         
      • obody is perfect. Just like anyone other, our evaluators could make a mistake. Because we have only vicarious information and we have no way of direct estimation of the realty, there is a greater possibilty of our mistake - substandard evaluation. But if you appeal to our partners in the realty estate region, they can set right our evaluation. However, according to our statistics, wrong evaluations present only very small minority of all our evaluations.
         
      • Mismatched evaluation can also be caused by incorrectly written characteristics of the realty. We may be evaluating a completely different realty from the one you had in your mind. We advise you to follow the help that is displayed in the left part of our pages for every characteristic of the realty
   2. I found almost the same realty in the realty advertising and the price there was higher.
      A:  When looking on the prices in advertising you should be aware that the seller is trying to get the highest possible price for his realty. Also quite often a brokerage and a payment for legal aid are included. Quoted prices are so quite often overcharged. If you take pains over observing the price for a longer time, you will find out that it diminishes till it becomes acceptable for a buyer.
   3. What could I use your evaluation for? Is it applicable for official or court purposes?
      A: This type of estimation is especialy usefull for getting awareness about the common price of your realty. Also it is usefull in case you would like to sell or buy a realty to verify the ask price, so you will gain independent opinion on the price. Because we have no chance of personal examination of the realty, our evaluation can´t have validity of evaluation of an official referee. It´s not usable for official or court purposes. If you need such as evaluation, you can employ our partner - official referee that we recomend you.

5. Privacy

   1. If I send you my email adress or the adress of my realty, won´t someone pester me ? I want no unasked advertisment or phonecalls.

      A:  We can guarantee that no one else will obtain your email adress, phone number or any information about your realty. This is also written in the Terms of use.
