Definition of a Rural Neighborhood vs a Suburban Neighborhood

At Rural Appraisals we believe in completing a quality report in a timely manner. Our turn around time for a typical single family residential appraisal, under a $500,000 value is normally three to five business days on the average. Spring and summer seasons may vary. However, we accept rush assignments as well.

We presently use the Appraiser's Choice (ACI) Collection for Windows version 2009 from Polaroid Digital Solutions as our appraisal software and are fully EDI (Electronic Data Imaging) and AI Ready (Appraisal Institute) capable. Digital photos and signatures are commonly used on all reports. We also commonly receive and send appraisals through Appraisal Port.

We also have the ability to send completed appraisals over the internet in Appraiser's Choice (ACI), Adobe Acrobat (PDF), Appraisal Institute (AIRD) or Lighthouse (LH) formats.
