Independent value support for personal decisions
Private appraisals are useful when a client needs credible valuation support but is not going through a traditional lender process. The report can help with planning, decision-making, negotiation, settlement discussions, and general understanding of a property’s market value.
Common reasons clients request a private appraisal
- Cash purchase decisions
- Pre-listing pricing support
- Estate planning or settlement discussions
- Divorce or legal support
- PMI removal requests
- General property value questions
