The property
Type the address the way the MLS or the county has it — the box will suggest.
Who it is for
The report is addressed to a named reader. That is what makes it a restricted-use appraisal rather than an anonymous printout.
The comparable sales
These four choices decide the grid. Everything else on the page decides what the report talks about; these decide what it is built on.
If the window you pick cannot fill a grid, the search steps back one rung at a time and the report says which one it landed on. A sale in the same building, gated community, development or HOA is worth reaching for: for one that similar the grid looks back up to 18 months whatever you choose here, and the time adjustment restates it to today.
The engine grades four times this many candidates and fills the grid from the ones that came in under the limit, in similarity order.
What the buyer already knows
Anything you leave blank is estimated and labelled as an estimate. Anything you fill in is used as fact and stamped with where it came from. Insurance especially — get the real number from an agent.
What goes in the report
Every block the buyer report can print. Switching one off removes the block — it never changes a number anywhere else. The last group is the six buyer-only sections that are planned but not written yet: their spots are held here so the menu shows the whole report, and they cannot be switched on until they exist.
