From our beginnings in 1981, Rick Hiton and Associates has been predicated upon four core values:. ONE APPRAISAL AT A TIME - Too often, appraisers rush through a property to gather data and end up not really listening to their customers. At RHA we listen and take our time to understand your and your client's needs.
ONE CUSTOMER AT A TIME - While the majority of our business is for the secondary market finance world, repeat business comes from the homeowner. When appraisers from Rick Hiton and Associates visit a homeowner's property, they realize that their demeanor is what the homeowner is greeted with, which creates the bond.

Small-business owners who want an accurate assessment of commercial real estate may find the process vastly different from residential appraisers. The main difference is that commercial real estate appraisals are more subjective, primarily based on the rental rates compared to the overall expenses paid.
If a homeowner or business owner has a "Green" property that requires an appraisal or consultation, Rick Hiton & Associates can provide an appraisal for residential and commercial properties to analyze their environmentally friendly features. Our LEED Green certified appraisers have the knowledge and experience required to valuate nearly any green property in the greater Chicagoland area.

Appraised house at $330,000. House next door (same layout, same number of rooms, etc. but 50% smaller lot) sold 9 months for $400,000. Appraiser never considered the house next door, but included a house 9 blocks away that was a distress sale. I realize most appraisals are not exact and selling price may be $20-25,000 higher or lower, but missing it by 25% is ridiculous.
