Room for the work.
Inspection and report writing have to fit around assignments already booked. Share your deadline early so the schedule can be discussed with the real date in view.
A FILING. A HEARING. A CLOSING.
Need the report before a filing, mediation or closing? Call with the address and the date you need it.
We will discuss whether your deadline is workable. Property research, access and existing bookings determine availability. Confirm the scope, fee and delivery estimate in writing before work begins.

The delivery date is when you need the finished report. The valuation date is the day the home's value should reflect. For an estate, that may be a date of death, even when you need the report urgently now. Ask your attorney or tax adviser which valuation date the assignment needs.
A hypothetical example: An executor arranging an appraisal of a lagoon-front house may need a report before a meeting with the estate's attorney. The appraiser still needs to understand the home, research sales for the appropriate valuation date and arrange entry if the scope requires an inspection. Having someone available to unlock the door helps with scheduling; it does not replace that research.
WHAT AFFECTS TIMING?
Inspection and report writing have to fit around assignments already booked. Share your deadline early so the schedule can be discussed with the real date in view.
After a death, or when an owner lives elsewhere, arranging entry can take time. If an inspection is part of the scope, tell us who can provide access and when.
A lagoon-front house, a rebuilt beach-area home or an unusual property history may call for more research. That time belongs in the estimate, even when the deadline is close.
MAKE THE FIRST CALL USEFUL
You can begin with the address and deadline. These other details help define the work and a realistic delivery estimate.

Share the property, purpose and intended readers. Ask whether the requested date is workable.
Get the scope, fee and delivery estimate in writing. Arrange entry if the scope includes an inspection.
The appraiser studies the relevant sales and market evidence and explains the reasoning behind the value.
Check the effective date, intended use, assumptions and limitations. Raise factual errors with the appraiser.
BEFORE YOU RELY ON A DATE
Provide the property address and type, report purpose, intended readers, valuation date, delivery deadline and possible entry dates. Include any instructions from your attorney, tax adviser or lender. Ask for the scope, fee and delivery estimate in writing. Size, complexity, access and timing affect the quote.
The purpose comes first. For a home after a death, see estate appraisals or probate appraisals. For mediation, see divorce appraisals. If you are unsure, explain the deadline when you call.
