Drive By Appraisal?
Realty Times has an article on Eppraisal.com, a new online residential appraisal service. While somewhat competing with Zillow by offering the "give us your address for a free appraisal estimate", Eppraisal differs in that it will go a step further for an actual drive by appraisal by a professional. Usually used for refinancing or to remove PMI, Eppraisal will sent an appraiser to drive by your home, pull neighborhood comps, and create an electronic appraisal viewable online or delivered in hard copy. For more serious appraisal work, the site soon will start offering the ability for consumers to get a full appraisal with all the bells and whistles through its network of professionals.
