Value Estimates, Expert Testimony, & Other Services
Value Estimates
At Rainier Valley Appraisal, we provide you with a pre-listing appraisal, ensuring both you and your agent have an accurate description of your home and its features. We also provide a detailed analysis of comparable sales and a realistic selling price, so you attract more of the right offers. We don’t want you to leave any money on the table!
A professional 3rd party appraisal is more accurate and detailed than a realtor-based Comparative Market Analysis and provides:
An effective tool for negotiating with agents and prospective buyers
Proof of your home’s value, to increase confidence and encourage offers
An upfront highlight any repair problems, eliminating issues that could delay closing or result in your sale falling through
Estates & Expert Testimony
When an estate has a transfer of ownership due to death or inheritance, a professional appraisal is frequently required for tax purposes.
The type of appraised value required depends on the particular needs of the estate. An attorney or accountant should be able to direct you towards the type of value needed to process the estate.
We understand the complexities involved in assessing the value of a property under these difficult circumstances, and we will strive to make the appraisal process run smoothly during a stressful time.
Divorce
We know divorce is a difficult process, with many decisions to be made, including what happens to shared properties. Whether the home is being put up for sale or one party is buying out the other; hiring the services of a professional appraiser to estimate the fair market value of the home is a vital step for one or both parties.
We can ensure your appraisal for the asset division includes a well-supported, professional report that is defensible in court.
