The
Order Process
The order will be sent to us by fax or email usually by a lender. We review
the data that we receive from the client to see if we can accept or reject the
order. We may not accept the order because the property is located in an area
that we do not service, insufficient information; value requested is too high,
etc.
The Appointment
We will make an appointment with the borrower, purchaser, tenant, or agent to
come out to the property and do the inspection. We will be taking digital photographs
of the front of your home, inside, backyard, and of the street. We also will
be drawing your floor plan. If you happen to have a copy of your floor plan,
please make a copy for the appraiser. From there, we will go to take photos
of other homes in your area that are of equal value as your home. Data Collection
We will collect data from our own data sources for the appraisal.
If you live in a condo or PUD, please provide the appraiser with your HOA (home
owner's association) information. Report We will use the information we have
collected to complete the Appraisal process. Deliver Per your request, we will
deliver the report to your lender by fax, email, express mail, courier, or hand
delivery.
