Private residential market value appraisals

Independent home valuations for private purchases and important property decisions throughout Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia.

A researched perspective on your home.

Before choosing a listing price or negotiating a private purchase, an appraisal can add property-specific research to the conversation. Van considers the property, its condition and features, and relevant market evidence for the agreed date.

Where a private appraisal can help

  • Private decisions: understand a home’s market value before deciding what to do next.
  • A private sale or purchase: bring independent analysis to a transaction between parties.
  • A family property decision: obtain a valuation for a clearly defined purpose.
  • An unusual home: discuss features that may not be captured well by a broad automated estimate.

More context than a single number.

A written appraisal explains the analysis supporting the opinion of value. Share information about improvements, distinctive features or other facts you think matter so they can be considered.

An appraisal is an opinion of value as of a particular date. It does not guarantee a sale price or replace a lender’s own appraisal ordering requirements.

What happens next?

Share the property address and what the appraisal needs to help you decide. Van will discuss assignment suitability, the intended use and users, effective date, fee and timing. Property observation, research and reporting are tailored to the agreed scope. You can ask questions about the process and the completed analysis.

Service is available across our Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia coverage area, subject to the needs of the assignment.

Discuss your appraisal

Common questions

Clarity before you begin.

Is a pre-listing appraisal the same as a listing price recommendation?

An appraisal develops a market-value opinion for a stated date and use. A listing strategy also considers your goals, marketing approach and advice from your real estate professional.

How is this different from an online estimate?

A private appraisal considers the specific assignment and property, with research and analysis explained in a written report. Automated estimates may not capture all features, condition differences or available local evidence.

Can I use the report for a mortgage?

Check with the lender first. Lenders generally control how mortgage appraisals are ordered and what reports they can accept.

Will you consider improvements?

Yes. Share the nature and timing of improvements and available supporting records. Their effect on market value depends on market evidence and may differ from their cost.
