FIND THE RIGHT SERVICE

Choose the appraisal you need.

Choose the situation closest to yours. Each service page explains what to discuss before the appraisal begins.

01 / AN INHERITED HOME

Estate appraisals

An Allentown rowhouse, twin or detached home needs comparisons that fit the property. For an inherited home, bring the valuation date and any instructions from the estate's attorney or tax adviser.

03 / A SHARED PROPERTY

Divorce appraisals

When a home is part of a separation, settle the appraisal’s purpose, valuation date and intended readers with your attorney. Tell us about access and any deadline early.

05 / YOUR NEXT PROPERTY DECISION

Residential appraisals

Planning a sale or refinance? Most single-family appraisal visits take 30 minutes–2 hours, according to our timing guide. The visit is only part of the work; discuss the report's purpose and delivery date separately.

06 / A DEADLINE APPROACHING

Rush appraisals

Tell us your deadline first, along with the address and when the property can be accessed. Ask about availability before relying on an earlier delivery date.

HOW A VALUE IS BUILT

The report starts with
the home itself.

The purpose of the appraisal guides the work. The property’s condition, features and relevant market evidence help build the value conclusion.

  1. Understand the property

    Most assignments involve an interior and exterior inspection, with measurements, photographs and notes. Desktop and exterior-only appraisals use a different scope; discuss what your request needs.

  2. Study comparable sales

    The appraiser researches similar properties and considers differences such as size, condition and features. A nearby sale is a starting point, not automatically the answer.

  3. Bring the evidence together

    Sales comparison, and other valuation approaches where appropriate, inform the conclusion. The report explains the value; it does not promise a particular sale price.

BEFORE YOU GET IN TOUCH

A few practical questions.

I don’t know which appraisal I need. Can I still call?

Yes. Start with the property address and why you need a value. Mention who will use the report and any deadline or instructions you’ve received.

What if I need a value from a past date?

Tell us the date your attorney or tax adviser has specified. Photos, records and details of the property’s condition at that time are useful to discuss.

Can I request a fee and delivery date first?

This page does not list a fixed private-appraisal fee. Use the contact page or call (610) 798-1017 for a written quote for your property. Our timing guide describes typical visits; it is not a delivery commitment. For an urgent request, confirm availability before making plans.
