Appraisal Review Services

Get a second set of eyes on your appraisal

Make sure the appraisal you’re relying on actually makes sense before you make a financially impactful decision based on it.

The Problem

Bad comparables lead to bad numbers

An appraisal is only as good as the data behind it. If the comparable sales used don’t actually match the property — say, a turkey farm used to value a chicken operation, or a table-egg house comped against a breeder hen farm — the resulting value can be way off.

Most people relying on that report, lenders included, have no way to catch it on their own.

Experience

Tyler has reviewed appraisals from both sides of the desk

Before starting Hipp Appraisals, Tyler reviewed appraisal reports as a bank review appraiser and again at the Farm Service Agency — so he knows exactly what to look for. He’s seen mismatched comparables and other issues that can undermine the credibility of an appraisal.

An appraisal review from Tyler tells you whether the report you have is built on solid ground — making sure the sales used to support the value actually make sense for the property being appraised.
