Don't Overpay — or Miss Out
In today’s fast-moving Greater Boston real estate market, knowing what to offer can feel like a gamble. With conflicting estimates and seller expectations all over the map, you need real data to make a confident move — especially when buying directly from a seller without an agent.
That’s where our pre-purchase appraisal comes in. At Aladdin Appraisal, we help buyers like you determine the right private party offer price — with clarity and confidence.
What Is a Pre-Purchase Appraisal?
A pre-purchase appraisal is a certified, independent valuation of a property before you submit your offer. It provides:
An accurate description of the property’s condition and features
A market-based valuation backed by recent comparable sales
Leverage for negotiation with private sellers
Protection against overpaying or underbidding
Insights into repair issues that affect value
It’s not just helpful — it’s smart strategy.
When You Should Get a Pre-Purchase Appraisal
Buying from a FSBO (For Sale by Owner)
No agent representation and want an unbiased opinion
Conflicting estimates from online tools or seller expectations
Unique property with no easy comparables
Need proof of value to support your offer
How Aladdin Appraisal Helps You Make the Right Offer
We tailor our pre-purchase services to fit your needs:
Full inspections with interior/exterior walkthrough
Limited-scope valuations or market analysis reports
Clear identification of repair issues or value-impacting features
Reports delivered quickly, in digital format, ready to review with your agent or submit with your offer
We’ve completed over 9,000 appraisals across the Greater Boston area — and we know what matters when it comes to offer strategy.

Rebecca Martinez
Aladdin Appraisal was fantastic. Apple was extremely helpful and very quick to respond to my several emails per day. Julie was also very efficient and helpful to me with all of my requests. Anyone would be lucky to use this company. They are phenomenal.
Cate
Best, easiest and fastest appraisal I have ever experienced. Very thorough and his team were a pleasure to work with! Excellent communication throughout the interaction. Could not have asked for more! Highly recommend and will be using again in the future!
Daniel Fox
I needed a consultant on some real estate issues I was having, and Adam of Aladdin Appraisal could not have been more helpful. He is a wealth of knowledge, a great listener, and a consummate professional. I would hire him again without hesitation!
Carol Donahue
Absolute pleasue working with Aladdin Appraisal. Very detailed report, exactly what we needed. Timely, prompt attention to our request and answered all of questions and more! Great communication and appraiser was there at the appointed time. Couldn't ask for a better experience.
Len Kurzwell
Aladdin Appraisal did a very professional job in assessing the value of my house for the purpose of Estate Taxes. Julie, the assessor, came to my house and was very thorough in recording all of the room dimensions and noting any special construction. She told me that the appraisal would be ready in a week, and it was. I had some questions before the appraisal was delivered and called the office. Each time I got thru quickly and got my questions answered. They were wonderfully responsive. I highly recommend them.
Eric Haggstrom
Aladdin Appraisal did an excellent job. They came out on site to do field measurements and when there were some issues (caused by how confusing my property is, not by them) they came out quickly to confirm everything. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend them.
Kathe Morris
Apple and the Team are professional, thorough, kind, detail-oriented, and communicate clearly. Our report done by Julie was excellent! I'm so glad that I called Aladdin appraisal!
Barbara Butwinick
I love this appraisal company. Adam was incredible. I called him about an appraisal I had on my present propery done in 2012. It's now 2024 and he found the appraisal and sent me ALL the information I needed to deal wih a potential issue with my condo. He offered support and very important detailed information I was unable to get access to on my public account. He's icredibly knowledgeable about handling issues with condo deeds and any other housing issues you may have. THANK YOU SOO MUCH ADAM
Christopher Fynn
Aladdin did a DoD Fair Market Value appraisal for us on a Needham, MA property. The appraisal was professionally done with a quick turnaround (as we required it urgently). Adam Wiener was readily accessible and took considerable time to discuss his methodology and answer my questions. Apple (Aladdin office manager) is friendly and responsive. I would gladly use Aladdin again!
Emma Bowerbank
Adam and his team are fantastic! Our interior design clients live across the country, so his help in creating a detailed floor plan of the home was priceless. He knew exactly the details, measurements, and other information we needed in order to design a new kitchen and create furniture plans for the other rooms. We quickly received a floor plan with detailed measurements. I can’t recommend Aladdin Appraisals enough!
David Kahn
Professional, experienced, and fast. I had a great experience working with Aladdin Appraisal for private home sale. Adam and his team were easy to work with and provided a well researched and credible appraisal to assist in the pricing of our private party home sale. Highly recommend!
Joao Vieira
I had a great experience working with Aladdin Appraisal. Adam and his team were easy to work with and provided a well researched and credible appraisal.Highly recommend! I will definitely will be using his services again.
Alexander Sbordone
Even after reading all of the exceptional reviews, Adam still exceeded all of our expectations. He arrived promptly for our appointment. Adam was very personable and professional. He answered all of our questions and pointed out various features regarding the house that we really never thought about before. Adam explained everything and the appraisal was provided in a timely manner. We highly recommend Adam for your appraisal needs.
David Russell
Adam Wiener, the owner of Aladdin Appraisal, was a cut above the appraisers I've met in the past. He was charming and engaging in a way that put my mother--the owner of the house--at ease. But beyond his personality, Adam did a thorough job. He even walked down to the condo complex office to introduce himself to the manager and find out what she knew about the status of various aspects of the buildings and grounds--recent updates, maintenance schedules, etc. Adam visited our home on a Friday, and he delivered the appraisal on Tuesday morning. He made himself available to answer our questions and was patient, clear, and welcoming. Highly recommended!
Christopher Carbone
I cannot stress this enough- Aladdin Appraisal provides the highest quality appraisals at a fair and competitive price. Specifically, in a divorce case, Aladdin provided a far-superior appraisal to counteract the other side's appraisal. Then, the company's principal contacted me and specifically gave me a point-by-point assessment of how the other appraisal was faulty and Aladdin's was on point (this was for an additional cost that was extremely worth it and save my client thousands of dollars in litigation fees). This was both orally and in writing. This directly led to the case settling at a price for the house far in excess of the opposing side's claim. I know its trite, but Aladdin is the classic "A bargain at twice the price." This a fantastic service that you should utilize.
Brian Buffington
Aladdin Appraisal was easy to work with, They arrived at the scheduled time promptly, and were very efficient in inspecting the property. They did good due diligence in arriving at their appraisal and I was very happy with the final comprehensive written report.
Dave
Aladdin Appraisal has completed several certified appraisals for our law firm on behalf of clients -- the appraisals are accurate, customer service is prompt/efficient, and always very professional w/ the clients.
David Franco
Adam is an exceptional appraiser! On time, extremely knowledgeable, and courteous. A true gentleman. I have been involved in many appraisals throughout my life and I have to say that this was the best appraiser that I have ever dealt with. I didn't have to point out the specific quality or nuances of anything on the property. He was ahead of me the whole way...I stopped trying, lol! If in the position to choose your appraiser, you cannot do better! I am fully satisfied with the experience and would recommend Adam to all.
Mark Caracino
Very very pleased with the service. The people in the office are friendly and get right back to you, especially Apple. The appraisers that come out are very professional, they do a fantastic and thorough job. Adam and his team of appraisers did a wonderful job of appraising 2 properties for me and I look forward to working with them again on other projects in the future.
Zhang Yan
Very happy experience with Aladdin. People are very responsive and patient during the whole process. Everything is very organized, from the quote and list of details they sent to me, to the end of receiving the final report. Adam is absolutely knowledgeable and professional, and he really listened to our needs. Definitely strongly recommend it.
Tara D'Amato
Adam is one of the friendliest and knowledgable appraisers I have worked with. He is kind and generous in sharing his wisdom when it comes to real estate appraisals and is always pleasant and professional. If you need help with anything to do with real estate, he's more than happy and willing to share contacts and advice. I absolutely would give Adam 5 STARS and highly recommend him for all of your real estate appraisal needs.
