Available options:

  • Financial Transcription: Hardstone requires all financials to be provided in Microsoft Excel (.xls) format before starting the valuation. If you do not have financials in the required format, select this option to Hardstone to convert your annual financial statements (up to the last 5 years) into Microsoft Excel (.xls) format for you.​

​

  • Expedited Delivery: Need your report faster than standard turnaround time? We offer 1, 2 and 3 week guaranteed delivery.

​

  • Prepaid Retainer: Typically selected for litigation cases, a prepaid retainer authorizes the appraiser to provide litigation support services in legal matters when the appraiser may not be able to accurately determine in advance what the cost of the appraisal and litigation support may be. At the conclusion of assignment, any balance will be applied to the final invoice.

​

  • Rights to Named Expert: Typically selected for litigation cases, this option grants rights to the client to identify a Hardstone valuation professional as a named expert in court documents.
