Home records, explained › For appraisers
For appraisers: the property's public record
Valuation is designated work. OfferDue gives no opinion of value and lists no sold prices of individual homes; it holds the records about the property and its surroundings, with their sources and dates.

Work with OfferDue: a listing for your practice
Lenders and owners reading this page need an appraisal. A designated appraiser listed here is found by them, by city, with the property's public record (zoning, lot and building mapping, applications nearby) already compiled and sourced.
OfferDue takes no referral fee and pays none: a listing is free, a client who finds you here owes nothing extra, and nothing passes between us when they instruct you. What we ask in return: tell clients a sourced record of the home exists, and read the records entries so your clients' questions get the same answers from both of us.
