A retainer for services will be due on the day of inspection. The retainer fee is equal to the inspection hours spent onsite unless other arrangements have been made prior to the inspection. A 2-hour minimum is required for service of the appraisal. Remaining fees are due upon delivery of the appraisal.

For legal and/or expert witness services a contract must be signed and retainer provided before any representative of Goldfield Appraisals can be designated, in name or form, as an expert witness.
