FAQ

What to know before you schedule.

Common questions about the appraisal process and what a report actually covers.

What is a residential appraisal?

A residential appraisal is an independent, professional opinion of a property's market value, prepared by a state-licensed appraiser following USPAP reporting standards. It's based on an in-person inspection combined with an analysis of comparable sales in the area.

Why would I need one?

Lenders require an appraisal for most purchase and refinance transactions to confirm a property supports the loan amount. Appraisals are also used for estate settlement, divorce proceedings, PMI removal, pre-listing pricing, and property tax appeals — anywhere an independent, defensible value is needed.

How long does the process take?

Most assignments are completed within 3–5 business days from the on-site inspection, though timelines can vary depending on property complexity and the purpose of the report.

What happens during the inspection?

The appraiser measures the home, documents its condition, and photographs the interior and exterior. This typically takes 30–60 minutes depending on the size and layout of the property.

Do you work directly with lenders and attorneys?

Yes. Reports can be delivered directly to a lender, attorney, or other third party as required, in addition to the property owner.
