FAQs

Common Questions About Home Appraisals

How long does a residential appraisal take in Maricopa County?

Most residential appraisals are completed within 3-5 business days of the property inspection, with the inspection itself typically scheduled within a few days of your order — faster turnaround is often available for time-sensitive situations.

What's the difference between an appraisal and a home inspection?

An appraisal determines your home's market value based on condition, comparable sales, and local market data. A home inspection evaluates the physical systems and structure for defects. Many clients order both, but they serve different purposes.

Do you handle divorce and estate appraisals?

Yes. We regularly provide independent, court-ready appraisals for divorce and family law settlements, as well as estate planning and date-of-death valuations for probate purposes.

Can I order an appraisal without a lender?

Absolutely. Non-lending appraisals are available for pre-listing decisions, FSBO pricing, tax appeals, estate matters, and personal peace of mind — no lender involvement required.

Can an appraisal help with a Maricopa County property tax appeal?

Yes. An independent appraisal report is strong supporting evidence when challenging a Maricopa County Assessor valuation, and can be prepared specifically for submission with your appeal.
