Website Terms and Conditions

This website provides information about Capital Valuations and residential real estate appraisal topics. Articles, glossary entries, examples, and other materials are provided for general educational purposes. They are not legal, tax, lending, investment, or financial advice.

Website content is not an appraisal, appraisal review, value conclusion, or substitute for a written report prepared for a specific property, intended use, and effective date. Do not rely on a website article or general estimate as a property-specific appraisal.

You can explore the appraisal glossary for plain-language explanations of common real estate appraisal terms.

Contacting Capital Valuations, submitting a website form, or requesting a quote is an inquiry only. It does not mean that an appraisal assignment has been accepted or create an appraiser-client relationship.

An assignment begins only after Capital Valuations confirms acceptance and the parties establish the assignment terms in writing. Those terms may identify the client, intended use, intended users, property, scope of work, fee, timing, and other assignment conditions.

Each request is considered individually. Acceptance depends on matters such as applicable licensing requirements, competency, independence, conflicts, geographic coverage, availability, scope, and agreed terms. Nothing on this website guarantees that a particular assignment will be accepted or that it will produce a particular value or outcome.

For an accepted assignment, the written engagement and appraisal report govern the professional work. If these website terms differ from a signed engagement for a specific assignment, the engagement and report control that work.

This website does not set a universal appraisal fee, payment method, deposit, cancellation charge, refund rule, or completion time. Any applicable fee and payment terms will be stated in the quote, invoice, or written engagement for the specific assignment.

Please review the terms provided for your assignment and contact Capital Valuations with questions before work begins. A quote or estimated timing applies only to the scope and information described when it is provided.
