Let’s set a date.
Once quote is approved, the admin staff will assign the file to one of our highly qualified appraisers. In most cases this will be followed up by a phone call from one of our appraisers to book a mutually agreeable time to view the property. In cases of a restricted appraisal commonly referred to as either a “drive by” or “desktop”. There isn’t a need to book a viewing and our appraisers will get right to work.

Show and Tell.
At the scheduled appointment date and time, the appraiser will visit the property to complete the property viewing. At this time we will be gathering all the necessary details about the property to complete the appraisal assignment.
This is includes:
photos
measurements to determine the size of the home and improvements (e.g., garages, decks, patios, etc.)
details about any updates, and renovations (e.g., basement developed in 2021, new deck in 2017, etc.)

All work, and no play.
After we complete the viewing, we will head back to the office where we get down to business and generate the appraisal report. This work includes entering all the details about the home we gathered at the viewing, and complete the required research to identify and report the value of the home.
