Neighborhood Research & "Comp Checks":

Washington Appraisals would be more than happy to direct you to utilize an AVM (Automated Valuation Model) to gain a better understaind of value for your clients property, but we do not engage in comp checks, or value checks, and can't give an opinion of value or value range for a subject property without doing a full appraisal. Two free options for AVM's are from www.homevalues.com or www.zillow.com.

"Comp checks" are commonly abused as a telemarking tool, that enables a person to call various Appraisers until a certain value can be promised. This tactic was and still is common. In most cases, most do not realize that these "comp checks" are being used to pressure appraisers for value. This promise is known as giving a predetermined value. Giving a predetermined value is strictly prohibed by the authorities and will not be given by anyone at Washinton Appraisals. "Comp checks" are legal only if the client requests solds with a (specific) given criteria. When a client asks for the Appraisers opinion about the sales results of the search, is an opinion which would not be credible without going through the entire appraisal process and is also prohibited.
