How to refer a client
Your client gets the exact fee in writing before anything is booked. The fee never depends on the value. If there's a deadline, such as a filing date or a hearing, they can tell us in the request.
We book a home visit Monday to Saturday. The signed report follows 1–2 business days later. Your client can share their order number so you can follow each step online.

Questions from lawyers, accountants and lenders
Can you value a home as of a past date?
Yes. We appraise as of today or any past date, such as the date of death, the date of separation or the date a property was bought or changed use, even years later. A home that has already been sold can often still be appraised from the sale records, listing photos and the owner's description. Past-date fees start at $470 for a condo and $575 for a detached or semi-detached house.
How fast can my client get a report?
Your client has the fee in writing within one business day. Home visits are booked Monday to Saturday, and most reports are ready 1–2 business days after the visit. If there's a deadline, such as a filing date or a hearing, your client can mention it in the quote request.
Can I follow the file as it moves along?
Yes, if your client shares their order number and email with you. The online tracker shows each step, from the quote to the final report.
Do you testify in court or mediation?
Yes. Court testimony is quoted hourly, for preparation and time in court or mediation.
Is the fee tied to the value?
No. The fee is confirmed in writing before anything is booked, and it never depends on the value or on a sale. That independence is what makes the report reliable.
Do you give legal or tax advice?
No. We value the property. You advise your client on the legal and tax questions.
Have a client who needs a value?
