Residential appraisers provide an unbiased estimate of a home or residential unit’s value, but they also do so much more:
Help a seller establish an acceptable sales price, and a buyer establish a reasonable offering price.
Estimate the value of a home for a potential refinance.
Identify areas that could be improved to enhance a property's value before listing it for sale.
Establish a starting point to combine the ownership of various properties under one owner.
Provide expert testimony and valuation reports in legal cases involving divorces, property disputes, or eminent domain proceedings.
Establish the value of residential properties for taxation and equitable distribution in estate planning.
Provide evidence for a tax appeal for homeowners who believe their property has been overvalued for tax assessment purposes.
