Due for the desktop appraisal
Your $5 comes off the appraisal, so the check costs you nothing extra.
- Not worth it

We tell you, and you skip the appraisal. You spent $5, not $225.

FAQ
Pricing questions
Are there any hidden fees?
No. The price you see quoted is the price you pay — appraisal, county packaging, and delivery included. Complex properties get an exact quote before you commit.
When do I pay?
Tax appeals: the $5 check is paid upfront and credited toward the appraisal if you proceed. Other purposes: you order first and payment is arranged once your appraiser is confirmed.
Why do prices vary by purpose?
Different purposes require different report types — a desktop tax-appeal report and a divorce narrative for an agreed intended use are different amounts of licensed work. Each purpose shows its real range.
What does a traditional appraisal cost?
A lender-ordered appraisal usually costs more and needs a site visit and scheduling. Skipping the visit where your purpose allows is what makes these prices possible, without cutting the licensed review.
