An appraiser develops an independent opinion of a home's value using property information and market evidence. The work follows the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). Tell us about the home in Snohomish, why you need a value and the date it should reflect.

A CMA is a broker's pricing opinion; an appraisal is an independent opinion of value developed by a state-credentialed appraiser following USPAP for an agreed purpose and effective date. Confirm with the intended recipient what documentation the matter needs.

Ask the attorney handling the estate whether an appraisal is needed for this property. If they need a report, ask which date to value and what the report must support. You can bring those instructions to us when you ask for a quote.

Ask your attorney which date should be valued and how the report will be used. Before ordering, agree who will hire the appraiser, receive the report and be able to rely on it. The appraisal gives an opinion of the property's value. Your attorney can help with questions about either spouse's legal share or the terms of a buyout.

A retrospective appraisal estimates what a home was worth on an earlier date. For an inherited home, that is often the owner's date of passing. You may see this called a date-of-death appraisal in legal or tax instructions. Ask your attorney or tax adviser to confirm the date and the report requirements before you order.

Depending on the agreed work, the appraiser may measure the home, take photographs and note its condition and features. Ask which parts of the property need to be accessible and whether there is anything to gather beforehand. Mention repairs, additions or other details you want the appraiser to understand.

Confirm this before the work begins. Agree who is hiring the appraiser, who will receive the report and who will be named as an intended user, meaning someone the appraiser identifies as able to rely on it. If an attorney or another person needs a copy, raise that at the start.

Tell us early if your attorney expects testimony, a deposition or other support. That work needs a separate discussion about availability, what is required and the fee. Ordering a written appraisal does not by itself arrange testimony.
