Tax Appeal Appraiser
The home appraisal team at FAST Appraisals is educated and experienced in what the counties require during a tax appeal appraisal. We have met with the review boards and attended a number of tax appeal hearings where our appraisers were asked to explain their valuation. This experience continues to shape how effective our appraisal reports are in the tax appeal process, or explain to home owners when an appraisal report won't help their property tax appeal.
Divorce Home Appraisal
When you order a divorce appraisal from us, you are assured that you will get not only the best in professional service, courtesy, and the highest quality appraisal. Our Cleveland home appraisal team also knows how to handle the sensitive needs of a divorce situation. Best yet, when expert witness testimony is involved, we have experience and are able and willing to defend our value in court or at a hearing.
Probate Appraisal
The probate process, and settling an estate, usually requires an appraisal to establish Fair Market Value for the residential property involved. Our team of Ohio State Licensed and certified real estate appraisers are familiar with the procedures and requirements necessary to perform a probate appraisal with an effective date and Fair Market Value estimate matching the date of death.
Bankruptcy Appraisal
When a home owner looks at the possibility of selling their home to pay off creditors, they aren't in a financial situation where they can invest the money to be enhancing the curb appeal. Our Ohio licensed home appraisers take a more realistic approach then a Realtor® valuation and other websites pulling "comps." We take into account deferred maintenance and find other distressed properties that sold in the area.
Desktop Appraisal / Hybrid Appraisal
These can also be called hybrid appraisals or alternative appraisal products, a valuation that is prepared by a Licensed or Certified appraiser without an in-person inspection. A desktop appraisal involves detailed research and third-party resources to uncover the best comparable sales data to deliver a quality appraised value and is done entirely from the desk - no driving past the home involved.
Full Appraisal Report
A full appraisal is what lenders usually require. The Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (URAR) is the most commonly used single-family appraisal form, and it is also known as Form 1004. This includes interior and exterior inspection with photos. Other appraisal forms include Form 1073 for condominiums, Form 1025 for small multi-family investment properties and Form 1004C for single-family manufactured housing.
