What report types do you offer?

Appraisal report types offered are residential for financing purposes to buy real estate, for refinancing purposes, for new construction or renovation purposes, for market rent, estate, or matrimonial purposes.

When do you expect payment?

Typically, the appraiser will require payment prior to visiting the property, and prior to releasing the report.

Who owns the report?

The client who requests the report is the owner of the report, regardless of who pays for the report. This has been the subject of a great deal of confusion. For example, if a lender requests an appraisal for the purposes of financing a real estate purchase, that lender owns the report and may not share it with the borrower.

How long does it take?

Generally, once an appraisal request has been initiated and paid, the appraiser visits the property and delivers the report within 24-48 hours. However, this timeline varies depending on the situation, as it is subject to change.

Why do I need an appraisal?

Generally, lenders require appraisals to confirm market value. There will be certain situations where an appraisal is not required.

What can I do to prepare for an appraisal?

Ensure that the property is neat, clean, any issues are fixed, and declutter as much as possible so that the appraiser can easily access all rooms and see floors, walls, electrical panels, etc.
