Real Estate Appraisal LLC
Check the Value Before a Private Purchase or Sale
Residential appraisals for private transactions in the Phoenix area, with a property inspection and written report.
A private home sale still needs a sound basis for the price. An appraisal examines the home and recent sales so a proposed purchase or transfer can be considered with more than an asking figure to go on.
A Value for the Transaction Being Considered
This service fits an off-market purchase, a sale between related parties or another private residential transaction. It provides a researched opinion of property value for the agreed date.
The appraisal follows the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), which govern its development and reporting. The value is based on the home and market evidence; the buyer and seller decide what price and terms to accept.
What Happens After the First Inquiry
Discuss the proposed sale
Start with the address and the transaction being considered. Katya discusses the value needed, agrees the work and fee before the visit, and confirms who will receive the report.
Review the home
The on-site inspection records living area, condition, layout and improvements. Available terms, renovation records and known repairs help explain the property being valued.
Compare sales and deliver the report
Sales of similar homes provide evidence of what buyers have paid. The written report explains which sales were used and how differences in the properties affected the conclusion.
A Similar Address Does Not Mean a Similar Home
Across the served Maricopa County communities, a renovated home and one awaiting updates can appear similar in basic property records. The appraisal considers the actual condition rather than assuming a nearby sale or an online estimate describes both homes equally well.
Questions Before Ordering
Can a private appraisal replace the lender’s appraisal?
Not automatically. If financing is involved, confirm the lender’s ordering and appraiser-selection requirements before paying for a private report.
What if the home will be listed with an agent?
The pre-listing appraisal service addresses the asking-price conversation before marketing a home. This page focuses on a private purchase or sale already being considered.
Useful Sale Details, If Available
The terms do not need to be settled before making contact. Katya can help identify what the request needs.
- Share any proposed price or purchase terms already available.
- Describe known repairs, additions or renovations.
- Identify the access contact and report recipient, if known.
Discuss the Proposed Purchase or Sale
Send the property address and a short description of the proposed transaction. The first conversation can cover the work, fee and availability before an appraisal is ordered.
