PRIVATE BUY AND SELL APPRAISALS

Check the Value Before Agreeing on a Price

Home offered for sale

An asking price is a proposal. An appraisal gives buyers and sellers an independent opinion of residential value, supported by the property’s characteristics and relevant market evidence.

This can be useful before listing a home, considering an off-market offer, or arranging a private transfer. Katya Borisova combines residential appraisal experience with an investor’s familiarity with the questions owners face.

Selling a Home With Features the Estimates Miss

Major renovations, a guest house, an unusual lot, or a custom layout can make broad online comparisons less useful. Tell Katya about the improvements and the timing of your sale so she can discuss the appraisal you need.

Buying Through a Private Arrangement

When a sale is off-market or between related parties, an independent value can provide another reference for discussing the price. Share the proposed terms and any planned repairs or renovations so the appraisal addresses the property you are considering.

If financing is involved, confirm your lender’s appraisal-ordering requirements before commissioning a private report.

Understand the Findings With Your Appraiser

Katya can walk you through the comparable sales, property differences, and reasoning behind her value conclusion. That discussion helps you understand the appraisal as you consider an asking price, an offer, or a private transfer.
