Frequently asked questions. Please make a selection: ■ What is a 'Comp Check'? ■ Why is payment required prior to the completion of the appraisal report? ■ I need an appraisal, but I only want to pay for it if it is going to enable a loan for my customer / myself. If you tell me that you can make that value, I will order the appraisal. Can you do this? ■ How is the value of the appraisal report determined? ■ What should I do to prepare for an appraisal inspection? ■ May I have a copy of the report? ■ A competitor is advertising a lower appraisal fee. Why should I order from you instead of them?
