Common Questions
When can an evaluation be used in lieu of an appraisal?
Regulations allow regulated institutions (banks) to use an evaluation instead of an appraisal for transactions with a loan amount of $500,000 or less, business loans $1 million or less, or transactions involving an existing extension of credit at the lending institution (with no loan limit). Limits are based on transaction value, not property value. An evaluation can be done by a person who is not a certified appraiser (see the guidelines).
Our ExpertEval is a restricted appraisal, performed by a state certified general appraiser, so it can be used in more situations than a standard evaluation.
