Residential Property Appraisals


Providing Residential Appraiser Services to the Southeastern Wisconsin Area

Eliminate the Guesswork


Residential appraiser services play a critical role in determining the market value of a property. Appraisers use their expertise and knowledge of the local real estate market to evaluate a home's condition, size, location, and other relevant factors to generate an accurate valuation. This information is crucial for homeowners, buyers, sellers, and lenders who need to make informed decisions regarding real estate transactions.

How Often Should I check the value of my home?

It's a good idea to periodically check the value of your home and to start tracking its history and value online. Knowing your home's valuation before you sell provides you an idea of how much you can market it for and how your home compares to other listings in the neighborhood at that time. This can be done in the weeks and months prior to listing the property. When considering big improvements to your home, such as remodeling or updating your property insurance, you should also verify the value of your home.
