Purchase appraisals & pre-purchase consults.

Buying a home is a big decision. We prepare purchase appraisals for lenders and, for buyers who want their own independent number, independent pre-purchase valuations before or during a negotiation.

Lender purchase appraisals

For financed purchases, the lender is the client and normally orders the appraisal through its own process. If your lender works with us, we prepare a conventional residential appraisal with a timely, well-supported opinion of market value.

Pre-purchase valuations for buyers

Paying cash, waiving an appraisal contingency, or buying a unique home with few obvious comparables? An appraisal you order yourself gives you an independent read of value to support your offer.

  • Cash purchases and estate or private sales
  • New construction or substantially renovated homes
  • Properties with acreage, outbuildings, or unusual features
  • Family sales where both sides want a fair price
An appraisal you order yourself generally cannot be used by a lender for loan approval. If you are financing, talk with your loan officer about the lender's appraisal process.

Common questions

Can I use your appraisal for my mortgage?

Usually not if you ordered it yourself. Lenders generally must order the appraisal. A report you order yourself is for your own decision-making.

How quickly can you do a pre-purchase appraisal?

It depends on the calendar and the property. Tell us your contract deadlines when you request a quote and we will tell you honestly whether we can meet them.
