Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like Wulf Appraisal Corp., will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear, and even important facts it may be hard to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a local area that's going down or not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours, which can happen frequently in the case of estates. That only means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better. We cannot advocate for you by law and practice, but we can give a real value to your property, by actually doing a walk-through, using true comparables, and just not the houses in general vicinity.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you like a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for precision? Wulf Appraisal Corp. offers field reviews where we'll go out and check your properties and those the other appraiser compared them to. If you need it immediately, we'll do our best to accommodate you, provide desk review, and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have in your possession. This is frequently done when the property is part of an estate and/or an inheritance circumstance. Things can get messy in these situations and it is best to know the actual value of a property, to avoid squabbling and keeping things civil between the parties involved.
