A Professional Appraisal. A Different Approach.
A desktop appraisal is a property valuation developed without a physical inspection of the home.
Instead of visiting the property, the appraiser evaluates available information, including public records, MLS data, comparable property sales, market trends, and relevant property documentation.
The result is an independent opinion of value developed by a professional appraiser.
Why choose a desktop appraisal?
No On-Site Appointment: No need to arrange access to the property when a desktop appraisal is appropriate.
Faster Turnaround: Qualifying reports can be completed in as little as 24 hours after acceptance.
Convenient Online Ordering: Submit your property information from anywhere.
Professional Market Analysis: Your valuation is developed using relevant market evidence and appraisal methodology.
Digital Report Delivery: Receive your completed appraisal electronically.
Desktop appraisals are subject to property eligibility, intended use, and the availability of sufficient information to develop credible results.
Built for Property Decisions That Can't Always Wait
Evaluating a potential investment? An independent property valuation can help you assess acquisition opportunities, compare asking prices with market evidence, and make more informed investment decisions.
When a property is difficult to price, a desktop appraisal can provide an additional professional perspective. Use it to support pre-listing discussions, evaluate comparable sales, or help clients better understand market conditions.
Whether you're considering a cash purchase, evaluating a potential sale, or simply need an independent opinion of value, a desktop appraisal may offer a convenient alternative to an appraisal requiring an inspection.

Got questions? We've got answers.
Qualifying desktop appraisals may be delivered within 24 hours after formal order acceptance and receipt of the necessary information and payment. Turnaround depends on the property's complexity, data availability, and the agreed delivery schedule.
Not for an assignment accepted with a desktop scope of work. The appraiser develops the valuation using available property information and market data. If a physical inspection is necessary, we'll discuss that with you before proceeding.
No. Automated home value estimates are generated using computer models. A professional desktop appraisal involves an appraiser's research, analysis, judgment, and responsibility for the resulting opinion of value.
Possibly. Suitability depends on the intended use, intended users, property information, and any applicable legal or reporting requirements. We review these details before accepting the assignment.
Not automatically. Mortgage lenders have specific appraisal and reporting requirements. A privately ordered desktop appraisal should not be assumed acceptable for mortgage financing. Confirm requirements with the lender before ordering.
We'll let you know and explain whether an appraisal involving a physical inspection or a different scope of work would be more appropriate.
Completed reports are delivered electronically in PDF format to the authorized client or intended recipient according to the engagement agreement.
Yes. Investors, brokerages, attorneys, and other professionals with recurring valuation needs can contact our team to discuss multiple-property requests and available scheduling capacity.
