SERVICES
Full Appraisals
The most popular option, these are excellent for estate, divorce or bankruptcy situations, whether or not litigation may be involved. These are similar in scope to appraisals you may have had done for a home purchase or refinance. It usually takes 30-60 minutes to measure the dwelling, take photos, and gather general information, and another 2 - 5 calendar days to produce the report (next-day appraisals are subject to availability).
Exterior-Only Appraisals
These are also known as "drive-by" appraisals, but please be assured, we always stop and take a good look, and take front, street, and side view photos. These appraisals are a more affordable option, and don't require an appointment. Observations are from the street and also from other sources such as county records, aerial photography, MLS and other listings, and Google Earth™ .
Restricted Use Appraisals
Tailored to your specific needs. For instance, if you just need a bottom line, no-frills value opinion from an experienced appraiser, in a less formal style compared to a full appraisal, it can be done inexpensively with a Desktop appraisal. Also, we perform measurement-only services, if you just need an accurate floor plan with dimensions and room locations. Photography-only services are offered as well, for insurance purposes, for example.
