A Comp Check is a colloquial term in the US (also know as a "look-up") that is sometimes requested of a State Licensed or Certified real estate appraiser within the US, sometimes to assure a minimum opinion of value before an order, typically for lending purposes, is placed. Because providing an opinion of value - for a certified or licensed appraiser in the United States - is the definition of an appraisal, the practice of the look-up, when excess care is not taken, runs a greater risk of being in violation of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) than an assignment with a more thorough Scope of Work.

One of the biggest concerns for appraisers, when it comes to "comp checks" is that mortgage brokers and loan officers who call with such requests are actually "appraiser shopping". Many people are of the opinion that appraisers come in two types: aggressive and conservative. This is a misnomer. If there are two types of appraisers in a lending appraisal assignment, they are an "Honest, Competent Market Value Appraisers" and everyone else. A mortgage broker and or lender is advised to shop a new appraiser when they find they are working with someone other than the honest and competent Market Value Appraiser.[1]

Third Party Comp Check Sites

Price: FREE

Below are several sites that provide quick comparable checks.  Click the link below.

 

Ditech.com   |   zillow.com   |   Homegain.com 

In some cases, these sites can not give you a value range for the property you are seeking a comp check on. Typically, it means that there is not enough data in the area for an AVM.  In the event that these sites do not have enough data to produce a comp check, we will need to do perform an appraisal to find the value of your subject.
