It is extremely important to select an appraisal firm that takes the time to devote to analyzing all of the pertinent appraisal factors as they relate to your property. Love Appraisal Service appraisals are not just a way of crunching numbers - they require an intimate knowledge of all sources of information, an understanding of the present trends in the market, a thoroughness of approach and our well know dedication to communicating the appraisal information in a clear and precise manner.

In addition, we know how important to you it is to have your appraisal completed and returned in a timely manner. Our company policy is to complete our appraisals, when at all possible, in less than a week time frame usually this works out to be 1 to 4 days after the inspection.

An appraisal is a detailed analysis of all the factors that determine the value of a property including:

• Location
• Condition
• Quality
• Size
• Proximity to services
• Similar comparable properties
  

To determine comparable properties, an appraisal typically includes a review of:

• Sales of similar properties in nearby neighborhoods
• Recent tax assessments
• Replacement Cost (also known as “cost approach”)
• Comparing sales to determine value
  

Our resources for compiling the information needed for your property are available from Northwest Multiple Listing Service, MetroScan and any number of additional internet websites. We also use the Marshall & Swift Publications along with builders and other contractors.

At the completion of an appraisal, you can expect a comprehensive report that details the information in a format acceptable to you and your lender or other interested financial institution.
