Scott Burton has been completing ERC Relocation appraisals in Sacramento, Placer, and Yolo Counties for many years.

Relocation appraisals are used to determine an anticipated sales price, usually not to exceed 90-180 days. The relocation appraisal is not the same as a typical mortgage appraisal. Relocation appraisals require special knowledge of the market & require deeper research.

When we perform a relocation appraisal, we not only consider recent closed sales but also competing listings and pending sales in the area. We present a forecast of the likely sales price, considering pricing trends & number of similar listings in the neighborhood. The current market requires us to heavily consider available active listings, pending sales & price trends. Comparable sales that closed even very recently, may not reflect upward or downward price trends, especially if they went into contract months prior to the value date.

All relocation appraisals are reported on the standard ERC Residential Appraisal Report form, the industry's accepted relocation appraisal format.

Often it is necessary to provide additional information to Relocation Professionals & Appraisal Reviewers immediately after the appraisal is completed. We are make our schedules available for this and respond with addendums or clarifications within 1 business day.

The Transferee is usually instructed to provide the appraiser with a list of improvments or market data to consider. We will consider all items presented in an open minded unbiased fashion.

We have recently completed ERC appraisals for Dwellworks, WHRGroup and Allegiance Relocation
