Services
Full Comprehensive Appraisal
Our full comprehensive appraisals include inspection of 3+ sold comparable properties, 12+ property photos, accurate square footage measurements with floor sketch, and on-site evaluation lasting 30-60 minutes. Reports typically deliver within 5-7 business days with rush options available. This service meets Fannie Mae Form 1004 requirements for detailed residential valuations.
Desktop Appraisal
Desktop appraisals utilize 3+ comparable sales data without on-site inspection. This streamlined service eliminates property measurements and photo documentation while maintaining compliance with abbreviated reporting standards. Ideal for low-risk transactions where physical inspection isn't required, delivering faster turnaround times while maintaining valuation accuracy through comprehensive market analysis.
Field Review
Our field review service involves physical property verification and third-party appraisal report analysis. Appraisers conduct visual inspections to confirm property condition and validate valuation metrics against industry standards. This service ensures compliance with USPAP requirements and lender-specific guidelines, providing critical quality control for complex or high-value appraisal assignments.
Non-Lender Appraisals
Designed for pre-listing, estate settlement, or personal use, these comprehensive reports include 3+ comparable sales, property photos, and square footage measurements. Our non-lender appraisals follow the same rigorous standards as lender-required evaluations but focus on providing actionable market insights directly to property owners and real estate professionals.
Square Footage Measurement
Accurate square footage calculations with detailed floor sketches form the foundation of our valuation process. This standalone service provides precise dimensional analysis for property listings, renovations, or disputes, conducted by certified professionals using industry-standard measurement protocols to ensure consistency and reliability in every assessment.
