What a private appraisal costs
The VA table does not set the price of an estate, divorce, cash, conventional or pre-sale appraisal. There is no published private rate here, and we won't guess one. We give you a written scope and fee for the actual property before any work begins.
What moves the fee
- Size and type. A condo, a single-family house and a 2–4 unit building are different jobs.
- A past effective date. Estate and IRS step-up work values the home as of a date of death, which takes more research than a value as of today.
- Records. The more of the file you can send (deeds, plans, permits, prior appraisals), the less digging is needed.
- Deadline. A court date or a closing can mean a rush assignment.
- Testimony. If you may need an appraiser to testify, tell us up front so we can discuss it before the engagement.
