# Purchase and sale valuation

**A residential appraisal for a purchase or sale develops an opinion of a home's value for a defined purpose and date. Before requesting work, clarify who will use the result, what decision it supports, and whether a separate lender or transaction requirement applies.**



## Start with the decision

Explain whether you are buying, selling, transferring, or planning around a home. A private valuation conversation is not automatically a substitute for a lender's appraisal or another party's required review.

Share the address, property type, intended audience, effective date, and deadline. Available listing information, improvements, and property records can help clarify what to discuss.

## Set expectations before work begins

Alex confirms whether the request fits, then discusses scope, fee, timing, and the agreed deliverable. No fee or result is published as a guarantee on this site.
