Appraisal costs depend on property type, size, location, and the purpose of the report, whether residential, commercial, or legal. Most residential appraisals range based on complexity, while commercial and land appraisals often cost more due to added research.

Turnaround time depends on property type and appraisal purpose, but most residential reports are completed within three to five business days after inspection. Commercial, land, or legal appraisals may take slightly longer due to added research and analysis. Our team prioritizes accuracy without sacrificing speed, keeping you updated throughout the process. If you have an urgent deadline, such as a closing date or court hearing, let us know so we can accommodate your timeline whenever possible.

A home appraisal determines your property’s market value, based on comparable sales, condition, and location, often required for financing or legal purposes. A home inspection, on the other hand, evaluates the physical condition of the property, identifying repairs or safety issues. While both involve visiting the property, they serve different purposes. Lenders typically require an appraisal, while buyers usually request an inspection separately to assess repair needs before finalizing a purchase.

While it is not always required, we recommend being present or having someone available who knows the property well. This allows our appraiser to ask questions about renovations, upgrades, or unique features that may affect value. If you cannot attend, we can often coordinate access through an agent or representative. Our goal is to make the process as convenient as possible while still gathering accurate, complete information for your final appraisal report.
