What happens next?
From the first inquiry to the final report, the purpose of the appraisal shapes the work.
Clear from the start.
Request
Share the address, purpose and any deadline.
Review & schedule
Confirm the scope, fee, timing and access needs.
Property research
Gather property information and observe the property as the assignment requires.
Market analysis
Analyze relevant sales and property differences.
Report delivery
Receive the valuation report for the agreed intended use.
A little preparation
goes a long way.
Have the property address, appraisal purpose and required effective date ready. If another professional will use the report, ask for their documentation requirements before you order.
Share any timing constraints early. The assignment is not accepted until its scope, fee and scheduling are confirmed.
Do you need to visit the property?
The scope of work determines what property observation or inspection is needed. Access requirements will be discussed after the assignment is reviewed.
What should I have ready?
Start with the property address, the reason for the appraisal and any deadline. Information about improvements, condition and professional reporting requirements can also help.
