Put local market evidence behind your pricing decision.
Selling a home involves more than picking a number. A pre-listing appraisal gives homeowners and real estate agents a property-specific opinion of market value, with the research behind it explained in writing.
It can be particularly useful for an unusual home, a property with substantial improvements, a sale without an agent, or a situation where online estimates leave more questions than answers.
How the appraisal helps
- Understand how location, condition and features relate to relevant sales.
- Bring independent analysis to discussions with your agent or a prospective buyer.
- Separate the cost of improvements from their market-supported contribution to value.
A straightforward process before you list.
Start with the property address and your plans. Van will discuss the intended use, property access, fee and estimated delivery. The assignment may include a property visit, research into comparable sales and analysis of the local market. You receive a written appraisal and can discuss its findings directly with Van.
An appraisal informs a pricing decision; it does not guarantee a selling price or time on the market. Your agent can help develop the listing and marketing strategy.
What happens next?
Share the property address and what the appraisal needs to help you decide. Van will discuss assignment suitability, the intended use and users, effective date, fee and timing. Property observation, research and reporting are tailored to the agreed scope. You can ask questions about the process and the completed analysis.
Service is available across our Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia coverage area, subject to the needs of the assignment.
