At The Silverman Group, we provide sellers and For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) homeowners with objective, third-party valuations. Because we have no commission interest in whether you list at \$500,000 or \$800,000, our only objective is total accuracy.
Furthermore, our appraisal report serves as an impenetrable defense when prospective buyers or their agents try to lowball your listing, proving your price is supported by verifiable closed comps.
The Silverman Group provides neutral, highly authoritative valuation reports that family law attorneys and court masters trust. With over 40 years of courtroom and field experience, we ensure all reports are mathematically defensible and completely unbiased.
Private appraisals empower property owners with leverage, clarity, and protection.
Establish an authoritative list price that attracts serious, qualified buyers and validates your asking price against buyer negotiations.
If your home has gained equity through rising market values or home improvements, a certified appraisal allows you to cancel monthly private mortgage insurance.
Buying a home without bank financing? Don’t skip the appraisal. Ensure you aren’t overpaying for an off-market deal, estate sale, or direct private purchase.
We inspect the property, take exact exterior laser measurements, evaluate cosmetic and structural condition, and catalogue all recent capital improvements.
We select the most relevant recent closed sales and pending transactions in your immediate neighborhood, making itemized dollar adjustments.
We highlight cost-effective repair items that could prevent buyer appraisal fallout or enhance marketability prior to listing.
Delivery of a full certified appraisal report you can share with your real estate agent or prospective buyers to defend your listing price.
A real estate agent’s Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is a sales tool. Often, agents may suggest an inflated price to win your listing agreement ("buying the listing"), leading to months on the market and painful price drops later. Conversely, an agent might underprice your home for a quick, effortless commission. A certified independent appraisal from The Silverman Group is completely unbiased, fact-driven, and establishes the exact ceiling an eventual buyer’s mortgage lender will underwrite.
In today’s market, many sales fall through weeks after going under contract because the buyer’s bank appraisal comes in lower than the agreed purchase price, forcing renegotiations or contract cancellation. By ordering an appraisal before you list, you eliminate surprises, address condition issues beforehand, and present the buyer’s appraiser with our exhaustive data packet.

If your home has appreciated or you have paid down your loan balance such that your equity exceeds 20-22%, federal law (Homeowners Protection Act) entitles you to request cancellation of monthly PMI.

Yes. As certified appraisers with 40+ years in the market, we see firsthand what features buyers pay for versus what updates produce poor returns. During your pre-listing consultation, we can pinpoint which cosmetic fixes or repairs will maximize your net selling price.
