Our Valuation Services:
Spark appraisal program
(Desktop Appraisal)
Our most recent product. We created the Spark Appraisal Program for those that are curious in finding out their home’s true value, but are not in need of a full appraisal. Our Spark desktop appraisal is less comprehensive than a full appraisal, but just as accurate and much more affordable and practical. We have received feedback over the years from homeowners interested in a product that is more accurate than a “zestimate” algorithm or estimate from a realtor, but more affordable and less of a risk as a full home appraisal. Try us out with no risk, as you can cancel at anytime if you just want one desktop appraisal. Keep scrolling below to find out more!
Full Standard Real Estate Appraisal
The typical full real estate appraisal. This product is perfect if you are in need of a full legal appraisal for a specific purpose such as refinancing, estate, pre-listing, divorce, court, etc. The full appraisal includes an inspection of your home as well as a market conditions report. This report follows typical appraisal standards and will be accepted for any legal, business, or investment needs. Please click “Order Appraisal” above to get a quote on your property today.
Why is spark better?
We have a team of the best state licensed certified residential appraisers. Find out exactly what your home is worth from a valuation professional today. Most people are curious what their house or condo is worth, but unfortunately most people end up using a realtor or Zillow to find that out. Realtors are not trained in valuation, they are trained in sales. A Zillow “zestimate” is based on an algorithm that has no idea what is in your home.
Our team has provided over 3500 appraisals in DC, MD, and VA since 2011 and most of our appraisers have been in the business for over 20 years.
Do not settle for an inaccurate home estimate, use Spark to find out exactly what your home is worth. We are hands down the best way to stay on top of your home price and stay informed.
Why Spark is perfect for you
Our team of professionals are licensed and certified with the state board in which your home resides. You can have faith that our appraisals will show you exactly how much your home is worth. Our appraisers use up to 3 approaches to value including the sales comparison, income, and cost approach to value your home. These are proven methods that appraisers are trained in that real estate agents and Zillow do not use. Most of our appraisers have been real estate appraisers for over 20 years in the market area they cover. Our reports are formatted and written in a way that anyone can understand.
Over the years we have helped thousands of homeowners and mortgage companies value homes. Mortgage companies and banks trust us to value homes to help decide whether they will loan out hundreds of thousands of dollars. There is a good reason they hire an appraisal professional and pay $500+ for an appraisal to help make these decisions. If they trust us to help them make these decisions than you can trust us to save you money as well.
We have helped homeowners value their homes for a variety of reasons. We help homeowners sell their homes faster by appraising their homes and giving them a reference for an optimal listing price. It is well known that an overpriced home will sit on the market for too long, but an underpriced home will also sit on the market for too long due to the perception from buyers that something is “wrong” with the house. In today’s market it is typical for homes to go under contract in less than 2-3 weeks. If a home does not sell before then it is likely that it will sit on the market for much longer.
Other reasons homeowners trust Spark include:
Staying informed
Tracking net worth
Refinancing
Selling
Tax assessments
Planning for the future and much more.
