It all depends on your type of property, but if you need it quickly our large staff can get it done. Please see our Turnaround Time page for more information.

After you have accepted the bid, a deposit is needed to lock in your completion date.

We will email you a secure QuickBooks payment link for the required deposit. This is the fastest way to ensure that your appraisal gets done on time.

Some customers choose to send their deposits to us in the mail. This is perfectly acceptable, but the checks are sometimes lost and can delay the completion of your appraisal.

When the appraisal is completed, we will invoice you for the remaining balance, if applicable. This is paid by check through standard mail.

This is the date of value in the appraisal report. It can be different based on the intended use of the appraisal.

Most of the time the effective date is the date the appraiser inspects the property, however if the appraisal is for estate tax purposes the effective is probably the date of decease. (please contact your accountant and/or lawyer for more details)

An electronic copy (PDF format) of your appraisal will be emailed to you immediately after it is completed. This is to ensure that you get the information you need as fast as possible.

In addition, you can request a paper copy of your report mailed to you for an additional fee.

Yes, but there is a 4% transaction fee over and above the quoted fee for your appraisal.

Please let us know if you would like to pay with your credit card and we will be happy to send you an invoice through our secure QuickBooks payment system.

If you need an appraisal for refinancing, collateral, a purchase loan, or a construction loan, then the lender must order the appraisal.

The lender will also be the client for the appraisal. When the appraisal is finished, it will be sent to the lender. After that, the owner or borrower will need to ask the lender for a copy of the appraisal, and the appraiser can only discuss the finished appraisal with the borrower (property owner) if the lender permits the appraiser to do so.

The lender will be responsible for paying the appraisal fee. However, they will likely charge the borrower for the fee at closing.
