Frequently Asked Questions

How do I handle private clients who want to pay only after the loan closes?

Using a digital invoice allows you to implement a 'pay-to-download' system, ensuring your fee is collected independently of the loan's success. This protects your cash flow and maintains the professional independence required by USPAP.

Should I charge a deposit for complex or high-value estate appraisals?

Absolutely. Digital invoicing makes it easy to send an immediate request for a 50% retainer. This secures the client's commitment and covers your initial research time before you commit to the full inspection and analysis.

What is the most efficient way to collect a 'trip fee' if the property isn't ready for inspection?

With a mobile-responsive invoice generator, you can send a payment link for a trip fee directly to the client's smartphone while you are still at the property. This captures the revenue instantly and avoids the administrative cost of chasing a small bill later.
