Condition, of course, is a crucial factor in valuation. Location is also a factor, but as property can’t change location, it’s often upgrades or improvements to a residential property that can enhance its value.

Their job is to determine an estimated value by examining the property, looking at the original purchase price, and comparing it with recent sales of similar properties. The fee for this service is usually between $300 and $500.
