Lender appraisals require compliance with USPAP, Fannie Mae Selling Guide requirements, and applicable investor or agency guidelines. Axios delivers credible opinions of value supported by thorough market research, recognized methodology, and clear, well-organized report presentation. We understand AMC workflows, lender revision protocols, and the importance of meeting turn-time expectations without compromising quality.
Non-lender appraisals serve a wide range of intended uses — estate settlement, divorce proceedings, property tax appeals, PMI removal, and private decision-making. While USPAP applies to all appraisal assignments regardless of the client, these engagements often involve different reporting requirements and a heightened need to clearly communicate the basis for the opinion of value. Axios approaches every private assignment with the same analytical rigor and independence applied to lender work.
Not all assignments follow a standard scope of work. Retrospective valuations, prospective opinions, luxury properties, green-certified homes, land, REO dispositions, and rental analysis each present distinct appraisal challenges. These assignments often require additional research, expanded highest and best use analysis, or application of multiple approaches to value. We bring the same methodological discipline to complex assignments that we apply to routine residential work.
New construction appraisals require an understanding of building plans, specifications, cost estimates, and the local permit and development process. Axios works with large national production builders, regional developers, direct lenders, and local contractors on proposed construction, under construction, and completed new home valuations. We are experienced with the cost approach, subject-to completion conditions, and construction progress inspections.
