Why homeowners are booking pre-listing appraisals
Price with confidence.
Zillow estimates swing wildly. A pre-listing appraisal gives you one trustworthy number grounded in real data
Negotiate from strength.
When a buyer pushes back, you can point to an independent third-party appraisal.
Avoid the low appraisal.
Knowing your number upfront helps you price realistically before the buyer’s lender weighs in.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a pre-listing appraisal cost?
Pricing depends on the size, complexity, and location of your home. Submit an order request for a custom quote.
How long does it take?
Most reports are completed within 5-7 business days of the inspection.
Is it the same as a CMA?
No. A CMA is prepared by a realtor. A pre-listing appraisal is prepared by a licensed, independent appraiser and follows USPAP standards — making it far more defensible.
Can I share the report with buyers?
Yes. Many sellers share their pre-listing appraisal to support their asking price.
