An appraisal is an unbiased, professional estimate of the fair market value of a property. It is conducted by a certified appraiser through thorough market research, data analysis, and property inspection to help you make informed real estate decisions.
A home inspection focuses on the physical condition, safety, and mechanical systems of a property. An appraisal determines the fair market value of the property based on location, market trends, comparable sales, and overall condition.
We provide independent appraisal services for estate planning, divorce/separation settlements, PMI removal, tax appeals, bankruptcy asset valuation, pre-listing guidance, and litigation support.
Most standard appraisal reports are completed within 3 to 5 business days following the physical site inspection, depending on property complexity and scope.
Ensure all areas of the property are accessible, clear entry points, ensure safety systems (like smoke detectors) work, and prepare a list of recent major updates or improvements made to the property.
