Typical Appraisal Fees
Clear, flat fees for the vast majority of Coachella Valley properties.
Over 90% of Coachella Valley properties fall within this pricing. Add $100 when there are two separate clients (e.g., a divorce). Listed fees are starting prices; complex, high-value, or high-liability assignments are quoted before you commit.
