How accurate is the ARV?

ARV is calculated from recent sold comparables near the subject property using deterministic math, not an AI guess. Accuracy depends on comp availability in the neighborhood; thin markets carry wider ranges.

Where do the comps come from?

Comps are pulled from public records and licensed real-estate data feeds covering recent sold transactions in the property's area.

Is this an appraisal?

No. FlipVerdict is an analysis tool for flippers, not a licensed appraisal. Use it to triage deals, then confirm with a licensed appraiser or local agent before closing.

Which states are covered?

All 50 US states. Coverage and comp depth vary by county.

Do I need an account?

No. The 60-second preview is free with no signup. An account is only needed to save reports or unlock full reports.

What is the refund policy?

First-purchase 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Single Report ($19, founding rate; regular $29): full refund, no questions asked. Unlimited ($49/mo founding, regular $79/mo; locked for life for the first 200 members), Team, and Brokerage plans: full refund within 30 days on the first billing period if 10 or fewer full reports have been generated across the account (fair-use guardrail).
