Price your home right from the start with professional valuation
Before you list your home for sale, know exactly what it's worth. A pre-listing appraisal gives you the confidence to price your property correctly, avoid leaving money on the table, and sell faster by attracting serious buyers from day one.
While real estate agents provide comparative market analyses (CMAs), a professional appraisal offers an unbiased, third-party valuation backed by decades of experience. This independent assessment helps you set a competitive listing price, negotiate from a position of knowledge, and potentially avoid costly pricing mistakes that can keep your home on the market for months.
Set the right price from day one based on objective market data, not emotions or wishful thinking.
Correctly priced homes attract more buyers and typically sell faster than overpriced properties.
Competitive pricing brings motivated buyers who are ready to make strong offers.
Armed with a professional appraisal, you can confidently negotiate and justify your asking price.
Get an objective valuation independent of agent opinions or your emotional attachment to the home.
Use the appraisal as a marketing tool to demonstrate your home's value to potential buyers.
Without a professional appraisal, sellers often make these costly errors
Overpricing leads to fewer showings, longer market time, and eventual price reductions that signal desperation to buyers. You often end up selling for less than if you'd priced correctly initially.
While low prices can generate multiple offers, you risk leaving significant equity on the table and selling below true market value, costing thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Basing price on what you paid, what you need, or memories made in the home leads to unrealistic expectations and disappointing results. The market doesn't care about your circumstances.
Automated valuation models like Zillow's Zestimate can be off by 10% or more. They don't account for condition, upgrades, or unique features that significantly impact value.

A pre-listing appraisal typically costs $500-800, but pricing your home just 2-3% more accurately can mean tens of thousands of dollars in additional proceeds. Even avoiding one unnecessary price reduction makes the appraisal well worth the investment.
On a $2M Bay Area home, just 2% better pricing equals $40,000 in additional value - a 50x return on your appraisal investment.
