Appraisal turn times vary by product type, scope of work and location. Properties located in urban or suburban areas generally can be completed quicker than appraisals on properties in rural or remote areas. When you place an order and select a product from the drop-down menu, you will see fee notes giving you our average turn times for that particular product. It will state “Turn time is generally x-y days.”  If a rush order is needed, add $125 and please mention in the notes that you need a “rush.” Price is also subject to increase (amount will vary) for very rural or remote areas and for unique properties.

Due Dates
The due date will automatically default to a date within our average turn time range.  The due date is subject to change depending on the circumstances surrounding the order.

Rush Orders
If you need to indicate that a “rush” is needed on your order, please check the box labeled “rush” when placing the order initially. The “rush” box is located near the top of the order screen, above the “client” field. If the “rush box” is not available, please place a comment in the “Additional Comments/Instructions” section toward the bottom of the order form. If you do indicate that a “rush” is needed, you are authorizing Marketwise to add $125 to the regular price of the appraisal. If you do not wish to be charged a “rush” fee, please do not request a “rush.” Rush orders are subject to availability depending on the area.  In some areas we are unable to provide rush service(s) due to limited appraiser availability.

Terms of Engagement
All appraisals are subject to a full refund if the appraiser has not yet visited the home and completed the inspection. Any order cancelled after the appraiser has already inspected the property will be subject to a 50% refund. If the report is cancelled the day that it is due from the appraiser, there is no refund.
