After exchanging emails about your project, I will contact you to discuss what I can do for you. This initial meeting can be online or on the phone. I will follow this initial consultation with a proposal and a quote if you wish to move forward.

Once a proposal and quote is accepted, to secure your booking, I request a 50% down payment. Once completed, I will provide you with a brief summary of my report. The remaining 50% is to be paid 24 hours prior to the delivery of the full report.

Following the acceptance of the proposal, a contract is signed and invoices are provided for the full amount due with applicable taxes.

Recent sales of comparables in the market are usually used to determine FMV.
