What We Need From You
Scoping the Assignment Correctly, From the Start
Confirming these five elements up front — usually in the first conversation or engagement letter — is what lets us deliver a report that fits your case, your client, or your closing timeline the first time.
Intended Use
The purpose the assignment is being performed for — for example, litigation support, estate settlement, a tax appeal, or a private planning decision. It's identified before the work begins because it shapes the scope of the assignment.
Intended User(s)
The specific party or parties identified in the assignment as relying on the report — a client, their attorney, or another named party. A report prepared for one intended use and user isn't automatically appropriate for another.
Effective Date
The date to which the opinion of value applies. For a current-value assignment this is typically the inspection date; for a retrospective assignment (such as a date-of-death valuation) it's a past date, established using historical market data.
Inspection / Observation Date
The date the property is physically observed, when an inspection is part of the assignment. For a retrospective assignment, this is often a current date even though the effective date is in the past.
Report Date
The date the appraisal report itself is completed and signed — which can be well after both the effective date and the inspection date, particularly for retrospective or litigation-support assignments.

Working Together
What to Expect as an Ongoing Professional Relationship
Built for Repeat Assignments
A professional account keeps your firm's assignment history, formatting preferences, and contact details on file, so ordering the next appraisal is a quick, familiar process rather than starting from scratch.
Consistent, Defensible Methodology
Every assignment follows the same disciplined comparable-selection and adjustment process, so opposing counsel, underwriters, or a Board of Equalization see a consistent standard of analysis — not a report that varies by who happened to write it.
Direct Communication With the Appraiser
Questions about methodology, scope, or a specific adjustment go to the appraiser who handled your file — not a general intake line — so you get a substantive answer instead of a canned response.
Familiar With Lender & Legal Workflows
Reports are formatted to support how lenders review underwriting files and how attorneys present evidence at hearings, so your team spends less time reformatting or explaining our documentation.
Statewide Georgia Coverage
One point of contact for assignments across all 159 Georgia counties — from Metro Atlanta to coastal and rural markets — instead of coordinating a different appraiser for every jurisdiction.
Responsive Turnaround
Clear communication on scheduling and expected delivery from the moment an assignment is submitted, so you can set client and case-file expectations with confidence.
