Trivvs is an innovative platform that connects users with certified real estate appraisers in their local area. It offers an easy and convenient way to obtain property value estimates, whether you’re looking for financial insights, preparing for a sale, or simply curious about your property’s worth. By streamlining the process and providing access to professional expertise, Trivvs ensures you receive reliable, data-driven valuations from qualified appraisers without the hassle of a traditional appraisal process.

Appraisers typically select three or more comparable properties that have recently sold. They then adjust for differences in features such as size, condition, marketability, and any upgrades to estimate the market value of the property.

Yes, you can use Trivvs to obtain a value for any property, as long as you can provide the necessary basic information required by our platform. You don’t have to own the property to request an estimate.

The most common reason our users seek to know their property value is for financial literacy. Other reasons include curiosity, business decision-making, asset division during separation, estate planning, and even for bragging rights. Additionally, individuals may request an unofficial estimate from a certified appraiser for preliminary investment planning, evaluating potential property improvements, settling informal disputes, preparing for insurance assessments, or simply to gauge their property’s position in the market without the need for a formal appraisal.

For legal reasons, we keep the appraiser’s name anonymous in the report. This approach helps us maintain lower fees while still providing reliable property value estimates. Since the reports are for informal purposes, there’s no requirement for users to know the appraiser’s name, and it does not impact the quality or accuracy of the estimate provided. Our goal is to offer you a cost-effective, efficient service without unnecessary details that don’t affect the outcome.

A Trivvs valuation is not the same as a formal appraisal. While both provide an estimate of a property’s value, Trivvs reports are designed primarily for informational purposes. Some lenders may accept a Trivvs valuation, but this is entirely at the lender’s discretion. For legal or financial transactions, such as securing a mortgage, a formal appraisal conducted by a licensed appraiser is typically required.

If you’re dissatisfied with your Trivvs valuation report, you have the option to request a Reconsideration of Value (ROV). An ROV allows you to provide additional information or identify potential inaccuracies in the original valuation. To initiate this process, contact Trivvs directly through their customer service channels. They will guide you on submitting relevant documentation or details to support your request. This approach aligns with industry practices, as highlighted in the Interagency Guidance on Reconsiderations of Value for Residential Real Estate Valuations issued by federal regulatory agencies.
