How 24-hour delivery works
Five steps, all by email or online. The appraisal is the same one you would get on a standard schedule; your file simply goes to the front of the line and stays there, weekends included.

Step by step
1. Send your request
Use the order form, which takes about three minutes, or email contact@cwift.com with the address, the purpose, the date the value is needed for and your deadline. Requests can go out at any hour.
2. Review and invoice
Brian reads every request before anything is billed. He confirms the property qualifies, that 24-hour delivery is realistic for it, and who will rely on the report, then emails a secure invoice along with any questions.
3. Payment and photos
Pay the invoice online and send your photos, either through the upload page or as attachments to a reply. Photos can go in before you pay, which saves time.
4. The 24-hour clock
The 24-hour clock starts when both your payment and your photos and property details have arrived, and it runs seven days a week, weekends and holidays included. If something essential is missing, such as a key room, the square footage or the date of value, you'll hear about it right away, and the 24 hours run from when it arrives.
5. Delivery
The signed appraisal arrives as a PDF by email, ready to forward to your CPA, attorney, trustee or agency. If anything about the property was misread, tell us and it is corrected at no charge.
When 24 hours isn't realistic (a very old valuation date, an unusual property, or several properties at once) you'll know before you pay, with a firm delivery time on the invoice.
What to photograph
Smartphone photos are fine. Daylight and one or two photos per room are plenty; include anything that adds or takes away value.
Valuing a date in the past?
Date-of-death, separation, gift and transfer appraisals describe the home as it was on the valuation date. Help reconstruct it with:
- Older photos: family snapshots, prior listing photos, insurance pictures
- Permits and contractor invoices for work done since
- A written description of the condition at the time, from family, tenants or caretakers
Limited evidence is still workable. The report explains what it relied on.
