Scott Burton has been completing ERC Relocation appraisals for 10+ years for many national clients.

Relocation appraisals are used to determine an anticipated sales price, typically as soon as possible -- usually not to exceed 120-180 days.  But the need for speed doesn't mean the relocation appraisal the same as a typical mortgage appraisal.  Relocation appraisals require special knowledge of the market & usually require deeper research.

When we perform a relocation appraisal, we not only consider recent closed sales but also competing listings and pending sales in the area.  We present a forecast of the likely sales price you can rely on, considering pricing trends & number of similar listings in the neighborhood at the time of the relocation.  The current market requires us to heavily consider available active listings & price trends.  Comparable Sales that closed even very recently, may not reflect the recent downward price trends. 

All relocation appraisals are reported on the standard ERC Residential Appraisal Report form, the industry's accepted relocation appraisal format. 

Often it is necessary to provide additional information to Relocation Professionals & Appraisal Reviewers immediately after the appraisal is completed.  We are make our schedules available for this and respond with addendums or clarifications within 1 business day.
