Our process aims to streamline the appraisal process and produce results that are easy to understand.

To ensure an accurate appraisal, we will confirm information regarding the property type, purpose of appraisal, and intended users. Subsequently, we will arrange a walk-through and forward an engagement letter for your review and signature. Payment is required during the property inspection and should be made by check.

The duration of inspections varies based on the size and intricacy of the property. Typically, single-family home inspections take one to two hours.

Throughout the appraisal inspection, comprehensive notes are recorded on various comparative elements, encompassing the quality and state of the property.

A standard appraisal inspection encompasses an exterior site walk-around, an interior walkthrough of all levels within the dwelling, the capture of interior and exterior photographs, and the drafting of a floor plan with perimeter dimensions.

During the process of conducting a home appraisal, our state-licensed certified appraiser diligently considers several vital elements of comparison to ascertain your property’s sub-market. The foremost among these are typically the time of sale, the location, the property type, and the size. Our standard approach involves researching sales stretching back three years, with a predominant focus on transactions occurring within the most recent year.

We analyze all collected data to support our property appraisal, including a 'Highest and Best Use' analysis. Real estate is unique, so adjustments may be needed even after selecting comparable sales.

Every appraisal assignment undergoes a thorough review by a certified appraiser to guarantee compliance. Clients receive a PDF of the original appraisal report and can request a physical copy. For lenders and AMCs, we utilize client-specific platforms to promptly deliver appraisal reports in the necessary format.
