Begin with how you will use the appraisal
Licensed and certified residential appraisals for your Seattle property. An inherited house, a divorce buyout and a planned sale ask different questions. The value date may be today or a date in the past. We begin with the intended use so the appraisal addresses the decision in front of you.
For homeowners, families and advisers
Explore probate appraisals, trust appraisals, divorce appraisals and tax-related valuations. For a general residential assignment, start with real estate appraisals.
Seattle property deserves a closer look
An older house with later additions may need a different set of comparisons than a condominium or townhouse. Views, slopes, access, condition and the legal use of finished space can matter. A citywide price statistic cannot settle those questions for a particular home.
Before work starts
Ask for the scope, fee and estimated delivery date in writing. If time is short, tell us the actual deadline and ask about rush availability before relying on a date.
A place to start
You can call before you have every record or know which date needs valuing. Tell us what is happening with the home, and we can talk through what the appraisal may need. If you already have any of the following, they can help.
- The property address and parcel number, if available.
- The effective date of value and any hearing, filing or transaction deadline.
- A description of the home, its occupancy and how access can be arranged.
- Renovation records, plans, permits and dated photographs of earlier condition.
- Any instructions from the attorney, trustee, lender or tax adviser who will use the report.
