First you request an estimate. We'll be pleased to
provide an service fee for your appraisal based on the
information you provide in the estimate request.
The appraiser will determine the fee at the beginning
of the appraisal assignment and provide complete disclosure of the fee.
You will need to sign an engagement letter which
instructs the appraiser as to what is to be appraised and who is to
receive it.
In this letter will be the fee. PLAINLY STATED. You will be asked
to pay the fee at the time of the engagement. This assures that the
appraiser will not be influenced as to the results he will present
to you. As they say, "It is what it is".
