“What should I ask
for the house?”
If you’re preparing to sell, an independent appraisal gives you a documented opinion of value to consider when setting the price. It can also give a private sale a starting point for discussion.

A reason to order
One home. A specific question
to answer.
“What should I ask
“We need a value
for a family decision.”
Tell us whether the home is part of a transfer, an estate or a separation. Who will rely on the report, and the date it needs to reflect, help define the assignment.
“Someone has asked
me for an appraisal.”
Bring the lender’s, insurer’s or adviser’s instructions. For refinancing or removing PMI, confirm which valuation your lender accepts before ordering.
Your Allentown property
The house you own
sets the starting point.
An attached home and a detached home can call for different comparisons. Tell us about the property’s layout, condition, improvements and how it is used today.
For a historic home, mention changes to the layout and any improvements you know about. Bring records you already have; you do not need every detail before the first call.

An older home has
its own story.
The Turner Street block pictured above is neighborhood context. For your appraisal, start with the home itself: its layout, condition, improvements and use.
Have you changed the floor plan, finished a room or replaced a major system? Share what you know and any records you already have. You can start the conversation before every document is in hand.

A few practical questions.
How much will my appraisal cost?
Ask for a written quote for your property. Size, complexity, purpose and turnaround affect the fee. The available public information does not give a private residential fee or starting price. For a quote for your home, call (610) 798-1017 or request a quote with the address.
How soon can I receive the report?
Share your deadline before booking so availability and a delivery estimate can be confirmed. If timing is tight, ask about a rush appraisal.
Can I order one for refinancing or PMI?
First ask your lender which valuation it will accept and how it must be ordered. Share those instructions before commissioning a report.
What if this is for an estate or divorce?
Tell us at the start and bring any instructions from your attorney or tax adviser, including the valuation date. Read more about estate appraisals or divorce appraisals.
Let’s start with the address
What do you need
to know about the home?
Call to discuss the property, or send the details through our contact page. Include the purpose and any deadline so we can discuss the right report.
