Step 1

Initial Consultation
The process begins with an initial consultation where we gather key information about your property and your appraisal needs.

  • Purpose of the Appraisal:
    We discuss the reason for the appraisal (e.g., sale, refinancing, tax purposes, estate settlement, divorce, etc.).

  • Property Details:
    We’ll ask for basic information about the property, including location,
    size, and unique features.

  • Timeline:
    We discuss your time frame for receiving the appraisal report and any deadlines you may have.

  • Fee Quote:
    Based on the complexity of the property and the scope of the appraisal, we
    will provide you with a fee estimate.

Step 2

Property Inspection
Once the consultation is complete, the next step is a thorough property inspection.

  • Exterior Inspection:
    We observe the exterior of the property, including the condition of the structure and the site.

  • Photographs and Measurements:
    We take photos and detailed measurements to ensure accuracy in our report.

  • Interior Inspection:
    We observe the interior of the property, focusing on relevant property characteristics. Such as; condition, quality, utility, and any unique features.

  • Note: 
    For certain types of appraisals, we may not need to observe the property, but this will depend on the type of appraisal required.

Step 3

Market Research and Analysis
After the inspection, we perform detailed market research and data analysis to determine the property’s value.

  • Sales Comparison Approach:
    We research similar properties in the same market that have sold recently to establish a basis for comparison

  • Adjustments for Differences:
    If your property has features or characteristics that differ from comparable properties, adjustments may be warranted.

  • Market Conditions:
    We analyze local market trends, demand, and supply, as well as any economic factors that could impact property value.

  • Income and Cost Approaches (if applicable): For income-producing properties, we may use the Income Approach. For newer buildings, we may also apply the Cost Approach to assess the replacement cost of the property.

Step 4

Drafting the Appraisal Report
Using all gathered information, we prepare a comprehensive appraisal report, which includes:

  • Property Description:
    Detailed information about the property’s size, features, and condition.

  • Market Data:
    Analysis of comparable sales and market conditions.

  • Valuation Approach:
    Explanation of the methods used to determine the property’s value (Sales Comparison, Cost, or Income Approach).

  • Final Opinion of Value:
    Our professional conclusion of the property’s market value.

     

Step 5

Delivery of the Report
Once the report is complete:

  • Review and Explanation:
    We deliver the appraisal report, either in hard copy or electronically. 

    Note:
    The time it takes to complete an appraisal will vary depending on the complexity of the property and the scope of the appraisal. Typically, reports are delivered within 5-7 business days.
