Rush appraisals in Peoria, AZ
Appraisal services / Rush appraisals
A close deadline is a scheduling question first.
If a hearing, a filing date or a closing is near, begin with the date itself. We check it against the property, the access and the work the report needs before anyone relies on an early delivery.

Can the report be ready before my date?
Our services page says: "Standard turnaround is 3-7 business days, but we can accommodate rush requests for court deadlines or time-sensitive matters." It lists "24-48 hour rush available", "Weekend inspections possible", "Priority scheduling" and "Additional fee applies".
Those describe what we offer in general. Whether they fit your property and your date is settled for the individual assignment. Give us the real deadline, and confirm the delivery date before you pass it to a court, a lender or the other side.
What decides whether an early date is possible
Availability
The visit and the writing both have to fit the calendar. Our contact page gives business hours as Monday – Friday: 08:00 – 18:00 and says: "We respond to all quote requests within 24 business hours. For urgent matters, please call us directly at +1-602-837-3118." For a rush, call.
Access
Someone has to let the appraiser in. Know who that is and which days work, weekends included.
Scope
A value for a past date, an unusual property or a report headed for court takes more research, so the scope is settled before the delivery date.
The schedule shortens. The standards do not.
A rush changes the order of the work, not the work. The report still needs the visit its scope calls for, comparable sales that fit the property and analysis that meets USPAP. If your date cannot be met without cutting those, the right answer is to say so at the start.
Deadlines that set the clock in Maricopa County
- Probate inventory. A personal representative has ninety days after appointment to prepare the estate inventory with date-of-death values (A.R.S. § 14-3706). See probate appraisals.
- Property tax petition. A petition to the Maricopa County Assessor is due within sixty days after the Notice of Valuation was mailed (A.R.S. § 42-16051). After a denial, an appeal to the State Board of Equalization is due within twenty-five days of the mailing of the Assessor's decision (A.R.S. § 42-16056). See residential appraisals.
- Federal estate tax return. Where one is required, the IRS instructions for Form 706 generally allow nine months from the date of death. See IRS step-up appraisals.
- Divorce. No Arizona statute fixes the date a marital home is valued. A mediation, a settlement conference or a trial date in the Superior Court's Family Department sets the pace, and your attorney names the date to be valued. Divorce appraisals are described on our services page.
- A sale or a loan. A closing date or a rate lock can be the deadline. Ask the lender first what valuation it will accept.
Dates in a court order or on an official notice control. Check yours with your attorney or adviser.

From the first call to delivery
- Lead with the date. Tell us the deadline, the property, the purpose and who will use the report. Scope, fee and a delivery date are agreed before work begins.
- Lock in access. Confirm who opens the house and when.
- Research and analysis. The appraiser studies the market evidence and the comparable sales, and writes up how they lead to the value.
- Read it on arrival. Check the effective date, the intended use and the assumptions, and raise factual questions straight away.
A rush report is still prepared by state-certified residential appraisers under USPAP, and those standards apply to it exactly as they do to any other assignment.
Rush fees and timing
The fee guide on our home page reads: "Typical fees range from $450–$950." For rush work our services page adds: "Additional fee applies". We do not publish a rush price. Ask for the rush fee in writing, together with the scope and the delivery date.
