Yes, absolutely. You don't need a bank to order one. You can hire a licensed residential appraiser directly. It will cost you out-of-pocket (typically $400 to $600), but it gives you the most accurate, unbiased value of your property. Just know that a buyer's bank won't use your appraisal; they will order their own later.

Joan, We are in a very fast changing market. If you get an appraisal done the value could change substantially just within a couple of months. Your best option would be to find a real estate agent within that area that does a good amount of business and is very good determining property values at the time you are looking to sell. I am happy to refer someone your way. If you need any further help you can always reach out to me directly. 904-806-6470 or [email protected]

One of the things that I offer all my clients, is a free appraisal of the home. Aside from doing a very accurate market value analysis myself, I also add the free appraisal so that the homeowner can not only verify the accuracy of my value, but it will also come in handy to counter any low ball offers or a bad appraisal from a financing institution. To add a layer of security, your realtor should continually check market activity to adjust value accordingly.

Go to your trusted real estate agent to get a market analysis for your home. This should be a complimentary service. You can find on-line home value estimates, but they are built on algorithms based on public information. Many factors about your home and neighborhood will not be taken into account. You can also pay a professional appraiser for a valuation opinion, but knowing what the active competition is and understanding the current buyers mindset is best received through an experienced real estate agent.
