A researched perspective on your home.
Before choosing a listing price or negotiating a private purchase, an appraisal can add property-specific research to the conversation. Van considers the property, its condition and features, and relevant market evidence for the agreed date.
Where a private appraisal can help
- Before listing: discuss market value alongside your agent’s pricing and marketing advice.
- A private sale or purchase: bring independent analysis to a transaction between parties.
- A family property decision: obtain a valuation for a clearly defined purpose.
- An unusual home: discuss features that may not be captured well by a broad automated estimate.
More context than a single number.
A written appraisal explains the analysis supporting the opinion of value. Share information about improvements, distinctive features or other facts you think matter so they can be considered.
An appraisal is an opinion of value as of a particular date. It does not guarantee a sale price or replace a lender’s own appraisal ordering requirements.
