Appraisal Rates effective January 2004
Not-to-exceed estimates available. Guaranteed delivery dates can be negotiated.
We prefer to negotiate a not-to-exceed contract with clients
in order to assure them of a fee that won't increase.
Due to recent demand for appraisals, we are booking 2-3 months ahead.
