Appraisals range in cost between $475-$600 depending on the price and location of your home. Some more complex properties including, but not limited to waterfront and multi-family units may have higher costs. The appraisal is paid by credit card once you decide to proceed with the transaction. Once your loan has been preapproved, we take your credit card information and give it to the third party appraisal management company at the time your order is placed. Sammamish Mortgage does not receive any portion of the fee collected for your appraisal.
