Should I get a professional appraisal before listing my home?
Bōde gives homeowners the tools and data to confidently buy and sell their own homes—including access to current market insights and comparable sales.
However, in some cases, it can be helpful to get a professional appraisal for an expert, third-party opinion of your home’s value.
When is a professional appraisal helpful?
Consider getting an appraisal if:
- Your property is unique or difficult to compare
- You’re unsure how to price your home competitively
- You want added confidence before listing
- You’re preparing for a negotiation with a buyer or lender
An appraisal is optional, but it can be a valuable step to support your pricing strategy.
