One original report with original photographs & signatures complete with data, assumptions, definitions, calculations and opinions in support of the final value conclusion. (delivered by e-mail in PDF format)

AppraisalPro shall make every effort to complete the assignment within a reasonable and competitive time frame. However, if a specific time frame is needed please advise us of that at the time the appraisal assignment is placed. If the time frame you request is not practical or feasible for us, we will advise you of that prior to accepting the assignment. We take pride in providing a high quality of service however unforeseen delays may occur that are beyond the control of the appraiser. They may include: incomplete information provided at the time of assignment, slow responses by contacts for verification of market data, severe weather conditions, or missed appointments by the person with whom the inspection appointment was set. AppraisalPro will communicate any such delays to the client promptly.

All appraisal requests are final once the assignment to the appraiser has been made. There are no refunds or discounts once service has been rendered.  We cannot accept contingent assignments.  If an appraisal order states an estimated value, we will pass that information on to the appraiser, however, the appraiser is in no way obliged to obtain that value.

Please do not put "must get xxxx value"  on your order request, as this is a violation of  Appraisal Board rules and would place the appraiser in an un-ethical situation.  An estimated value may be placed on the report.

The appraiser will , through due diligence and the study of the market, determine the market value of the property as indicated by the market.   

Our appraisers are trained to find the best value the market will support for any given property.
