Our Process

From your initial request to the completed report.

Step 1: Request an Appraisal

To request an appraisal, complete our online request form or email us with the property address and intended use. We will follow up about the assignment details. For mortgage lending or PMI removal, confirm your lender’s or servicer’s ordering requirements before commissioning a private appraisal.

Step 2: Confirm the Assignment

We confirm the property type, intended use, intended users, effective date, scope, fee, and estimated delivery time. We then arrange access and provide engagement terms for review and signature. Payment arrangements are explained before work begins.

Step 3: Appraisal Inspections

For an interior appraisal, we observe the accessible areas, document relevant features and condition, take photographs, and measure or verify the property as the assignment requires. Inspection time depends on property size and complexity. Exterior-only and other limited-access assignments require a suitable scope and sufficient supporting information.

Step 4: Appraisal Research and Analysis

We analyze the property’s competitive market using relevant sales and other available data. Location, property type, size, condition, quality, design, and market conditions help guide the selection of comparable evidence. The research period depends on the effective date and the evidence needed for the assignment.

Step 5: Appraisal Report Writing

We evaluate the relevant approaches to value and explain the analysis in the report. Comparable properties are reviewed for meaningful differences, and adjustments are applied when supported. The report explains the reasoning behind the value conclusion and any material assumptions or limitations.

Step 6: Appraisal Delivery

After review, we deliver the report to the client and any other authorized recipients using the agreed method. We can discuss the report and address questions about the analysis. Delivery to a lender or another third party must be consistent with the assignment terms and applicable confidentiality requirements.
