FEES

Our fees are based on the amount of time it takes to complete the appraisal report. There are a combination of factors determining the time involved that may include, but are not limited to: the location of the property, type of home, size, zoning, or any adverse environmental conditions... just to name a few.  In order for us to give you a more accurate estimate for your appraisal needs, please fill out the form below and we will contact you promptly.

REPORT OPTIONS

The Maine Appraisal Company offers two reporting options based on your specific needs:

1) Appraisal Report or "Full" Report

2) Restricted Report

• Traditional appraisal reports (full reports) are more detailed and contain elements usually required by banks and mortgage companies in order to make more informed lending decisions.  It may also have a broader range of intended users.  Our full appraisal reports are often used for estate settlement, tax abatement, or divorce action purposes.  These reports are typically more expensive and take longer to complete.
• The restricted report is simply a shorter explanation of the results from the appraisal process and is limited in use only to the client (or other identified parties if named in the report).  ​ Restricted appraisal reports are best for situations in which minimal content for the support and rationale of the appraiser's opinions and conclusions is considered appropriate, such as sibling/co-owner buyouts or pre-listing appraisals.  In these cases the client is mostly interested in just knowing the market value and does not require a detailed explanation of how it was developed.  These reports typically have lower fees and take slightly less time to complete. 
• The valuation process is the same for both reporting options, but the reporting format is different.  All the necessary data and analysis is kept in the work file for each reporting option.  

Not sure which report option is right for you? Please contact us and we would be happy to have that discussion.
