IRS step-up appraisals →Residential
A licensed appraiser's independent opinion of value, written to USPAP.
Residential appraisals →Rush
Time-sensitive matters. Give us the deadline when you call.
Rush appraisals →How it works, and what to send us
- Call or send a request. Give us the complete property address, the property type (house, condominium, townhouse), what the appraisal is for and your deadline.
- We confirm the scope. Before work begins we agree on who the appraisal is for, its intended use and what the report has to cover. If the value is needed as of an earlier date, tell us the date.
- You receive a written report. It is written so your attorney, accountant or the other party can read it and check it.
Delivery time depends on access to the property, how complex it is and the research involved, so ask for a delivery estimate before you rely on a date. For an older home, an addition or a condo, records such as permits, plans and association dues help.
The appraisers are licensed, and you can check any appraiser we assign in the California appraiser lookup and the national appraiser registry.
