FAQ ABOUT
OUR LOCAL HOME APPRAISAL SERVICES
The answer is NO! Per USPAP and TALCB the appraiser is only allowed to deliver or discuss the appraisal report with the intended users listed in the appraisal report. The client is not always the intender user nor does is the intended user required to pay for the appraisal. In most cases the “client is the same as the “intended user” but there are exceptions.
Most home appraisals are valid for 0-90 days, but some lenders may accept up to 180 days. The time period an appraisal report is valid for differs depending on specific market conditions and the effective date. This means if market conditions (aka “trends”) remain largely unchanged then 0-180 days may be considered
acceptable.
The best way to prepare for the appraiser is to remove all debris from the exterior of the home and landscape for accessibility. The appraiser will need access to
each interior room and attic in some situations. Depending on the purpose of your appraisal and the size of the home, the appraiser will typically be done with the site visit in 30-45 minutes. Completion and delivery of the report generally take another 5 business days
No, the appraiser can work more efficiently by giving you a “client questionnaire” to complete while he/she is collecting physical data. Please refrain from following the appraiser and talking to them as they need to concentrate without distractions. Once the appraiser is finished give them the completed “client questionnaire” and
address any questions or concerns.
An Appraiser’s job is to collect physical data about the subject, I.E. GLA,
condition, quality of materials, contributory features, etc. The appraiser will also analyze such factors as lot size, location, external influences and recent COMPARABLE SALES within the immediate market area. The appraiser will make adjustments for the differences and reconcile into a single range of values and estimate a final opinion
As required by USPAP and TALCB an Appraiser must remain UNBIASED in all situations. Appraiser’s do not advocate on their client’s behalf, nor should you try to exert eternal influence. If you disagree with the value listed in your appraisal report, you must submit (via email) the reasons why you disagree and supporting evidence to support your claims. DO NOT CALL the appraiser as we will not discuss/argue without having ample time to research your evidence and
prepare our response.
