Q: Do you appraise commercial properties?
A: We do commercial appraisals on a case-by-case basis. Please call with the property address and information about the property for a fee and turn time before ordering the appraisal.
Q: Do you perform comparable searches?
A: Due to the unique nature of every property and recent improvements that homeowners may have made, it is very difficult to get an accurate preliminary value of a property without an inspection. Therefore we do not perform traditional “comp checks.” If the appraiser inspects the property and determines that the property value will not be sufficient, the client will be contacted and can choose to cancel the appraisal and pay a small trip and research fee.
