A private appraisal is ordered by a homeowner, attorney, executor, or other non-lender client — not through a bank appraisal management company (AMC) for a mortgage transaction.
AMC mortgage appraisals are ordered for lending underwriting. Private / attorney-direct appraisals are scoped for divorce, estate, probate, tax, or other intended uses defined by the client and counsel.
Individuals, mediators, matrimonial or estate attorneys, executors, administrators, and other authorized parties may retain us directly.
