When You Need a Residential Appraisal

Residential Appraisals

Pre-Listing Appraisals (Before You Sell)

If you’re preparing to sell your home, an independent appraisal ensures your listing price is based on market-supported value, not guesswork.

Our appraisals help homeowners and real estate agents price accurately, attract buyers faster, and defend value during negotiations.

Ideal for: Homeowners, real estate agents, and FSBO (For Sale By Owner) sellers seeking a reliable price point.

Pre-Purchase Appraisals (Before You Buy)

For buyers, a pre-purchase appraisal provides unbiased assurance of what a property is truly worth — before you commit.

It can prevent overpaying, strengthen your offer with documentation, and give peace of mind in competitive markets.

Ideal for: Buyers, investors, and real estate consultants evaluating private purchases or off-market listings.

Estate & Probate Appraisals

FSBO (For Sale By Owner) Appraisals

Selling without a real estate agent?
An independent FSBO appraisal builds credibility with potential buyers and can help support your asking price during negotiations or financing.
Our team provides a professional, court-accepted valuation report that carries the weight of a licensed opinion.

Estate & Probate Appraisals

Used for inheritance and estate settlement, these reports determine fair market value as of a specific date (date of death).

They are IRS-compliant and often requested by attorneys or accountants managing estates and trusts.
