Accurate valuations that give sellers confidence — whether you’re a homeowner or a seasoned agent.
Whether you're preparing to list your home as a For Sale By Owner (FSBO) or advising a client as a real estate agent, one of the most important steps is getting the price right. Overpricing leads to wasted time and buyer skepticism. Underpricing could leave thousands on the table. That’s where we come in.
At Premier Appraisal Services of Tallahassee, we provide independent, third-party appraisals that help you price with confidence — not guesswork. Our appraisals go beyond a basic CMA, offering a defensible, certified valuation backed by recent comparable sales, market trends, and a detailed inspection of your property’s features and condition.
Why FSBO Sellers Trust Our Pre-Listing Appraisals
Set a price that’s competitive and realistic
Gain leverage when negotiating with buyers and agents
Instill buyer confidence with a third-party appraisal
Avoid appraisal issues later in the closing process
Uncover repairs or upgrades that affect value
Whether you're selling to a friend, investor, or on the open market, a certified appraisal gives you a strong starting point that helps the entire process go more smoothly.
Ask five brokers and get five different opinions. Check three real estate websites and get three different values. When it’s time to list your home, guessing the price can cost you time, money, and offers.
At Premier Appraisal Services we provide certified pre-listing appraisals that give you a clear, unbiased value - helping you price your home with confidence from the start.

Tailored Services for Different Needs:
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:
A powerful tool to justify your asking price
More confidence during showings and negotiations
Fewer surprises during buyer inspections or lender appraisals
A smoother closing process with fewer delays
We can also advise on which improvements (if any) could increase value before listing.
For Real Estate Agents
A pre-listing appraisal can be your secret weapon when:
A seller insists on overpricing
You want to differentiate yourself from other agents
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.
