Methodology
The same three approaches to value an appraiser uses, run against more data than any person could check by hand, with every adjustment documented.
Three approaches to value
We build each case with every approach the evidence supports, and cite the section it rests on.
Equity
Unequal appraisal
Is your property appraised higher than comparable properties? We search millions of records for the most similar homes and calculate a fair value for yours.
Matched by size, age, quality and land value
Adjustments tuned to each neighborhood
Professional grid: size, age, condition and quality
Market
Sales comparison
What did similar properties actually sell for? We cross-reference several data sources and adjust for the differences that matter to find true market value.
Multiple sources cross-referenced
Adjusted for distance, size and condition
Independent estimates used as a check
Income
Direct capitalization
For commercial property, value follows income. We estimate net operating income and apply market rates, with support for your own financial documents.
Value from rental income and market rates
Upload rent rolls and statements (PDF or Excel)
Benchmarked against market rates
The pipeline
01
Property lookup
Enter an address or account number. We identify the county and pull the full record: owner, legal description and improvements.
02
Data collection
County records, sales databases, rental sources and public records are gathered and cross-referenced for accuracy.
03
Analysis
Comparables are selected, recent sales analyzed, condition reviewed from photos, and flood, environmental, neighborhood and infrastructure risks checked.
04
Report
Seven independent signals estimate the savings, the model predicts the outcome, and the evidence packet is assembled for the hearing.
