Appraisals are required for numerous reasons, including refinancing a mortgage, home equity loans, pre-listing services, and divorce settlements. When you need an appraisal you can be certain that we will provide prompt service with highest degree of integrity and professionalism.
When your lender asks if you have an appraisal company that you would like to use please consider requesting us as your choice. We will be able to provide the lender with all the necessary documentation and information they need in order to allow your choice to be honoured.
When listing your own home for sale an objective view can be difficult to take due to your own sentimental attachment to it. As appraisers we are able to be objective and can inform you accurately about what you need to understand about listing your home. Accurate information will help you in determining a realistic price that will make sense to prospective buyers. Buyers want to see that the price being asked is based on true value. A professional appraisal can show them that what you are asking is based on an objective view from a source that is both credible and unbiased.
If you have obtained a copy of an appraisal for your home and would like a second opinion we can review the appraisal for you. This may save you time and further expense as you will not have to wait for a second new appraisal. In a field review of your appraisal we will confirm the appraisal’s accuracy as well as provide a field inspection of the subject and review information about the comparable properties in order to double check the determination of the appraisal and the conclusions on value that it has come to.
In an appraisal desk review we will use our resources to ensure that the facts in your appraisal are accurate so that you can be assured that you have received an appraisal that you are comfortable with and can trust as you move forward in selling your home.
Urban Valley Appraisals (UVA) has been set up as a virtual office to create the lowest carbon footprint possible for running business. Unless requested by the client, all communication is digital including the delivery of appraisal reports.
Although UVA has a virtual office, at times it is necessary (and beneficial) to meet clients face to face to discuss difficult assignments and assess specific needs. We are available to meet at the client’s place of business or at a suitable alternate location.
