Our Pre-listing & FSBO Appraisal Service
Whether you’re a homeowner selling your property (FSBO) or a realtor trying to establish a fair market list price, it’s often difficult to have an unbiased opinion of your home’s value. It is very common for homeowners and realtors to rely on appraisers for assistance when establishing a fair market value for their home. That’s where ‘IdaHome Appraisal, Inc’ comes in. We have a long history of working with homeowners trying to sell their own home, as well as realtors needing additional support for their listings (or to prove to their clients the true market value of a property). At ‘IdaHome Appraisal, Inc’ we can provide you with a professional 3rd party appraisal, which is far more accurate than a realtor based Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). A pre-listing appraisal ensures both you and your agent have an accurate description of your home’s features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price for your home that will attract buyers, a professional appraisal: Provides an effective tool for negotiating with potential buyers and their agents. Helps instill confidence in potential buyers since you have written the proof of your home’s market value. Highlights upfront any obvious repair problems which helps eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay closing. Decreases the chances of sales falling through due to unforeseen problems. Keep in mind that overpriced homes attract far fewer buyers, which means fewer and possibly no offers, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts while an underpriced home can result in a lower sales price and you leaving substantial money on the table. Getting a pre-listing appraisal will help you and/or your realtor determine a true list price for your property as well as maximize your chances of selling quickly for top dollar. In addition, we can help you determine what, if any, improvements would be the most cost-effective in adding additional value to your home. A full appraisal may or may not be needed depending on what it is you’re looking for. Often times a more limited valuation or market analysis report is entirely appropriate, whereas other times a full interior and exterior valuation may be necessary.

J Cone2023-04-21Josh came out and did an appraisal on my Mother's Estate that was being held in Trust. He was very professional and got the job done for me quickly. Beyond that, he was very kind and sympathetic to my situation. He was always available when I needed to get a hold of him on the phone to answer my questions. I was a Real Estate Broker for 27 years and worked with many appraisers in that time. Josh was by far the kindest person I have encountered in the business. The appraisal was finished very professionally. Thank you Josh.
Mary Barnett2023-03-28I contacted Josh out of the blue, needing help on valuation of a unique property prior to listing. He responded to my initial text on a weekend, while he was out of town. The day he returned, we had a phone call and the next day I had the valuation. I could not be more impressed with his knowledge and his customer service. He took the time to explain how he determined the value (didn't just throw a number at me because 'he's an appraiser'). I can't recommend him highly enough. He'll be my go to from now on.

Ryan2023-01-29I have had appraisals done in the past by other appraisers, however, I have never dealt with anyone as professional and courteous as Josh. He was very prompt to return my emails. He was able to complete the inspection the same day and had the appraisal back to me 2 days later. What a turn around! He is very knowledgeable in what he does. For those reasons and others, I highly recommend him!
Shannon Hegarty2023-01-25Before I put my home on the market I needed a home appraisal done by an independent service. Josh at IdaHome appraisal was recommended to me by my attorney. I was pleased by the fact that they returned the house appraisal quickly and it was higher than what I was told by my real estate agent. Excellent home appraisal services. I wouldn't use anyone else.
