The Appraisal Process
When contacted for appraisal services we will require the address of the property, the purpose for the appraisal and our clients name and contact information. Once we have completed our preliminary research on the property to be appraised we will provide the client with a fee quote and time frame for completion of the report. Upon acceptance of our quote we will provide the client with a letter of engagement and set up an appointment to inspect the property. At the time of inspection we will measure the improvements (unless there are building plans available). Information on site size, zoning and land use restrictions will be obtained from government authorities and LTSA (BC Land Titles Office). Once completed we will deliver the report to our client via email. After the client has had a chance to review the report we will be available by appointment to answer any questions they may have..
