We Take Credit Cards

Do We Do Comp Checks?

This is the most common question a lender asks an appraiser. Appraisers understand why lenders want to check the value of a property before proceeding with the loan and avoid borrowers waste their time and money on loans that wont "appraise out". Comp Checks may seem to be good customer service. However, providing a comp check or an estimate of value prior to receiving an appraisal order is a violation of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and jeopardizes the appraiser's license.

"So what can I do?"

You can order a Desktop Restricted Use Appraisal Report. This service is provided to mortgage professionals only. A Desktop Restricted Use Appraisal Report provides you with the property information based on the information available on public records and area sales. This limited/restricted appraisal report can serve as a guide with regards to market value trend, market price range, and an estimated value. With a Desktop Appraisal Report, the appraiser incorporates the Sales Comparison Approach and the Cost and Income approaches are excluded. Also, no interior and exterior inspection of the subject property is made. This limited /restricted appraisal report is basically intended to serve as a guide only. A full appraisal inspection report may reveal a value which may be considerably above or below the estimated value indicated by this Desktop Restricted Use Appraisal Report.

This service typically costs $75 - $150. However, we offer this service to all our clients for a low fee of $24.95 to cover the cost of both time and resources to our office. However, you also receive a $25 off voucher for a Full Apraisal Order with every completed Desktop Appraisal.

So, you see, it makes sense to order a desktop appraisal prior to ordering a full appraisal. You can:

1- Avoid having your borrower commit $300 or more upfront
2- It shows your borrower you Care
3- Avoid more dead deals relating to appraisals
4- Keep your clients for life and earn more Referrals!

We would appreciate the opprortunity to provide a high quality appraisal report.

Thank you for your order.
