Pre-Listing & Pre-Purchase Appraisals

Pre-Listing & Pre-Purchase work has its own rules

An independent opinion before listing gives you a defensible anchor in negotiation that a commission-motivated estimate cannot.

Every report prepared for this purpose states its intended use and intended user explicitly, applies the value standard that purpose requires, and is signed by the appraiser who performed the work. That is not a courtesy — it is what makes the report usable by the party who has to accept it.
