What Drives Your Appraisal Fee
Property Complexity
How unique your property is relative to recent comparable sales. Custom architecture, unusual lots, or special features require more analysis time.
Time & Research
Travel distance within the valley, document preparation, and the depth of comparable research your specific market area requires.
Liability & Use
The responsibility tied to the intended use. High-value properties and complex legal matters carry additional professional considerations.
Two ways to value your property
For many legal, estate, and tax purposes, the client already knows the property's condition and features. In those cases a desktop appraisal delivers the same analytical rigor and credibility as a full-inspection report. Since 2020 — made permanent in 2022 — major lenders have formally recognized desktop appraisals when adequate property data is available.
What stays the same: the market research, the analysis, the report quality, and the professional credibility. What differs: a physical site visit, and the opportunity for you to correct any property details.
Desktop appraisals are ideal for
- Estate planning — Date of Death & Step-Up Basis
- Tax purposes — gift tax & assessment appeals
- Divorce when property access is limited
- Bankruptcy with attorney approval
- Trust valuations without physical access
- Second opinions on existing reports
Full inspection is recommended for
- Family transfers & private-party sales
- Unique or unusual properties
- Disputed valuations likely to be challenged
- Complex, high-stakes litigation
- Income & investment properties
- Insurance claims & damage assessment
