What Is a Desktop Appraisal?

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.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

How quickly can I receive my desktop appraisal?

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.

Will someone need to visit the property?

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.

Is a desktop appraisal the same as an online home value estimate?

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.

Can I use a desktop appraisal for an estate, divorce, or legal matter?

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.

Can I use the report for a mortgage loan?

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.

What if my property doesn't qualify?

We'll let you know and explain whether an appraisal involving a physical inspection or a different scope of work would be more appropriate.

How will I receive the report?

Completed reports are delivered electronically in PDF format to the authorized client or intended recipient according to the engagement agreement.

Can I submit multiple properties?

Yes. Investors, brokerages, attorneys, and other professionals with recurring valuation needs can contact our team to discuss multiple-property requests and available scheduling capacity.
