Pre-Listing and For Sale by Owner (FSBO) Appraisals

Set the Right Price Before You List With a Certified Pre-Listing Appraisal

Accurate valuations that give sellers confidence — whether you’re a homeowner or a seasoned agent.

For FSBO Sellers

If you're selling your own home, you may not have access to the tools and market insight that agents use. A professional pre-listing appraisal ensures you don’t overprice and scare off potential buyers — or underprice and sell for less than it's worth.

With an accurate valuation in hand, you'll have:

We can also advise on which improvements (if any) could increase value before listing.

For Real Estate Agents

You want to differentiate yourself from other agents

TallahasseeAppraisers.com Bullet point

You’re dealing with unique or hard-to-comp values

The property has recently been improved or remodeled

You need a defensible value to reduce renegotiations later

An appraisal from our certified team adds weight to your pricing recommendation and gives your client a stronger foundation for attracting offers… especially in a competitive market like Tallahassee.

We Know the Tallahassee Area Market…
And We Know How to Value Your Property

With thousands of appraisals completed since 2004, our team brings the experience, research, and neighborhood insight to get it right.

We tailor every report to the real nuances of your property and location.

Dont Leave Pricing to Chance

Many buyers bring appraisers into the negotiation process - so you should too. An accurate pre-listing appraisal reduces surprises, helps you stand firm in negotiations, and increases your chances of selling quickly for the right price.
