Estate Appraisals

The purpose of an estate appraisal is to provide an accurate and reliable assessment of a deceased person’s property, which can be useful for a variety of purposes related to estate planning and distribution. Accountants and Attorneys often utilize our services in performing real estate appraisals for estate purposes.

Desktop Appraisals

Desktop appraisals, also known as remote or online appraisals, are a type of appraisal that is conducted without the appraiser physically visiting the property. Instead, the appraiser uses a variety of sources, such as property records, public data, and photos, to determine the value of the property.Desktop appraisals are often used in cases when the property is inaccessible due to physical barriers or other limitations. They also offer a cost effective alternative to traditional on-site appraisals, specially when homeowners provide interior photos to help assess the property's condition.

Bankruptcy Appraisals

A bankruptcy appraisal is a professional evaluation of a property’s value that is conducted for the purpose of bankruptcy proceedings. This type of appraisal is typically used to help determine the value of the property for the purposes of liquidating assets to pay off debts.A bankruptcy appraisal is typically conducted by a professional appraiser who is trained and certified in evaluating different types of property. The appraiser will consider a variety of factors in determining the value of the property, including its age, condition, location, and market trends.

Who Pays for an Appraisal?

In most cases, the buyer pays for a real estate appraisal. Here’s why:1. Mortgage Requirement: Lenders typically require an appraisal to determine the property's value before approving a mortgage. The buyer covers this cost as part of the loan process.2. Cost Transparency: Paying for the appraisal upfront ensures that the buyer is aware of the property's value and can make informed decisions.3. Negotiation Leverage: If the appraisal comes in lower than the purchase price, the buyer has leverage to negotiate the price with the seller.Important Note: Although the buyer pays for the appraisal, the lender owns the appraisal report. Therefore, the buyer needs to obtain a copy of the appraisal from the lender, not directly from the appraiser.This is not the case with a private appraisal, where the client typically owns the report and can request it directly from the appraiser.Exceptions: In some cases, the seller may pay for an appraisal, especially if it's part of a listing agreement or to resolve disputes over property value. Ultimately, the party responsible for the appraisal cost can vary based on the agreement between the buyer and seller, but it's most commonly the buyer.
