  • We do appraisals for purchases, refinancing, and pre-listings.

  • We evaluate a variety of factors during a home inspection to determine the property's value. We begin by assessing the overall condition of the home, including the foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and HVAC. Structural integrity is crucial, as any signs of damage or required repairs can significantly affect the appraisal. Additionally, we examine the quality of finishes and materials used throughout the home, the home's layout and functionality, and its compliance with local building codes. We also consider the property's location, neighborhood characteristics, and recent sales of comparable homes in the area to provide a comprehensive valuation.

  • Usually, our turn around times are within 48 hours after the inspection date.

  • For homeowners: Refinance or Home Equity, for Sale by Owner, Tax Appeal, estate planning liquidation, pre-sale decisions
