A few useful answers

Start with a little clarity.

New to the appraisal process? Here are a few of the questions we hear.

View all questions
What can a private appraisal help me decide?

A private appraisal can support estate and probate matters, divorce, pre-listing or FSBO planning, private purchase decisions, and other defined uses. The report is prepared for a stated client, purpose, effective date, and intended users.

What is a date-of-death appraisal?

It is a retrospective appraisal that provides an opinion of value as of a past effective date, often a date of death or another historical date. The requested date and available records are confirmed before accepting the assignment.

Can I use a lender’s appraisal for my own purpose?

Do not assume that you can. A lender’s report is prepared for its stated client and lending use. A different purpose or user may require authorization, a new assignment, or a new report.

How long does an appraisal take?

Timing depends on access, property complexity, effective date, research, scope, and client requirements. We discuss a practical timing estimate after reviewing the request; no completion date is guaranteed until conditions are confirmed.
