The assignment / Fees & delivery

A clear purpose.
A defined fee.

Starting fees are for a typical single-family home in Maple Crossing. We confirm the property, intended use, intended users and effective date before agreeing on the assignment.

Choose the purpose of the report

01 / A purchase

Purchase appraisal

From $525

Property visit, market research and a written report for the agreed purchase assignment. We confirm the authorized ordering party and report requirements before accepting the work.

02 / A refinance

Refinance appraisal

From $525

An independent opinion for the specified refinance assignment. The scope and authorized ordering party are established before scheduling; a website request is not a lender’s order.

03 / An estate

Estate appraisal

From $650

A report for the estate’s stated purpose and effective date, which may be a past date. We confirm available records, the property’s condition at that date and who may use the report.

04 / A divorce

Divorce appraisal

From $700

A report for the agreed purpose, users and effective date. We establish one scheduling contact and access arrangements. Testimony and additional proceedings are outside this starting fee.

The written report

5–7 business days.

For all four services, the usual report window is 5–7 business days after the visit and receipt of requested records. We agree on a delivery date before accepting the assignment.

Unusual properties, large acreage or retrospective research can take longer and cost more. We explain that before you commit. No rush fee or earlier date is assumed.

What the fee includes

A typical 45–75 minute visit, property measurements and photographs, relevant market research, and a written report with the reasoning behind the opinion. We answer questions about the completed report.

The appraisal is not a home inspection. It does not diagnose hidden defects or promise a particular value or transaction outcome.

A few practical questions

Can you promise a particular value?

No. The fee pays for independent analysis, not an outcome. The opinion follows the property evidence and relevant market data.

What if I need a value from a past date?

Tell us the effective date and purpose at the start. Estate and divorce assignments may require older records and additional research. We agree on the fee and delivery date after reviewing that scope.

When is the report ready?

The usual window is 5–7 business days after the visit and receipt of requested records. Your agreed delivery date accounts for any additional research the assignment needs.

Tell us what the report is for.

We’ll confirm the property, purpose and timing before the work starts.
