Know your home’s market value before you list

Price with confidence and negotiate from data, free of any commission interest. A pre-listing appraisal gives you an independent, USPAP compliant opinion of value from a state certified appraiser, before the sign goes in the yard.

WHAT IT IS

A number you can trust before you set the price

A real estate agent’s suggested list price is an opinion based on the market. A pre-listing appraisal is an independent, evidence-based opinion of value, with no commission riding on the outcome, so the number reflects the property, not the sale.

The report gives you a defensible starting point for pricing and negotiation, fully USPAP compliant and delivered by a state certified residential appraiser licensed in both Oregon and Washington.

Homeowners & sellers
