An independent opinion of value before you list or before you buy.

Overview

Before you set a list price or write an offer, an independent appraisal gives you a number that isn't tied to a commission or a sale.

It's especially valuable for unique, custom, or thin-comp properties, where an automated estimate or a quick comparative market analysis falls short.

When to use it

  • Pricing a home before listing (FSBO or with an agent)
  • Validating an offer before you buy
  • Unique, custom, or hard-to-comp properties
  • Setting a fair price between family members

What's included

  • USPAP-compliant appraisal report
  • Current comparable sales analysis
  • Interior inspection, or desktop / drive-by option
  • Independent value opinion — no commission attached

What we'll need for the engagement letter

  • Your timeline
  • Whether you're listing or purchasing
  • Any recent improvements or known issues

Questions

The methodology is the same USPAP standard; the difference is you engage us directly and the report is for your use, not a lender's.

Generally no — lenders order their own through their channels. A pre-purchase appraisal is for your own decision-making before you commit.
