Pre-listing Appraisals
Pre-sale/pre-listing Appraisal Services
A pre-sale or pre-listing appraisal estimates your property’s current market value before you list it for sale. This report can help you determine an accurate listing price for your property, saving you time and money in the long run.
Pre-listing appraisals are much more thorough and objective compared to Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) provided by real estate agents. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the property sells for. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete the report and not a percentage of the sales price. So a professional appraisal can often help property owners make the best decisions on setting a fair sales price.
Benefits
Peace of Mind: A pre-listing appraisal gives you peace of mind by accurately estimating your property’s value. You can use this information to set a fair price for your property, which can help you avoid overpricing or underpricing it.
Second Opinion: A pre-listing appraisal can also give you a second opinion on the value of your property. If you have already received a value estimate from a real estate agent, a pre-listing appraisal can help you confirm whether the estimate is accurate.
Independent Appraisal: A pre-listing appraisal is an independent appraisal conducted by a licensed appraiser. This means that the appraisal is unbiased and objective, which can help you avoid potential conflicts of interest.
Bixby Appraisal Group
We provide pre-listing appraisals for commercial and residential properties. Our reports will provide an accurate description of the property and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales.
Disagreement with real estate agent

FSBO
If you plan to sell your property as a For Sale By Owner (FSBO), our appraisal will help you determine an appropriate list price. No real estate agent or broker is necessary. No exorbitant commission fees involved.
Appraisal Report Options
We provide two different appraisal report options for pre-listings. The first option is a standard appraisal report and the second option is a restricted appraisal report. Restricted appraisal reports are a cheaper alternative that are condensed and state the facts rather than summarize the conclusions. These reports could have less scope as well such as no inspection, one approach to value and etc. depending on the client requirements but still adhere to the current Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
