We provide the following Valuation Services
Real Estate Appraisals
Real Estate Appraisals provide an independent, unbiased opinion of a property's market value based on thorough analysis and industry standards. A professional appraisal considers location, condition, size, comparable sales, and market trends to determine accurate valuation. We cover all residential property types including single-family homes, multi-family properties, condominiums, luxury estates, vacant land, and specialized properties. A professional appraiser delivers reliable, credible valuations that support your most important financial and legal decisions.
Estate & Trust Appraisals
Estate and Trust Appraisals provide accurate property valuations required for tax reporting, probate proceedings, and asset distribution. We understand that settling an estate can be a challenging time, which is why we handle each assignment with professionalism and sensitivity. Our appraisals comply with IRS requirements and deliver the documentation needed for estate tax returns and trust administration. We provide timely, reliable valuations that help executors, trustees, and attorneys make informed decisions during the settlement process.
Divorce Appraisals
Divorce Appraisals provide impartial property valuations essential for equitable asset division and settlement negotiations. We deliver objective, court-ready appraisals that both parties and their attorneys can rely on during proceedings. Our reports comply with legal standards and provide the credible documentation needed for fair property distribution. We handle each assignment with professionalism and confidentiality, understanding the sensitive nature of divorce proceedings.
Date of Death Appraisals
Date of Death Appraisals establish a property's fair market value as of the decedent's date of passing for estate tax and probate purposes. These retrospective appraisals comply with IRS requirements and provide the documentation needed for accurate estate tax returns. We conduct thorough research using historical market data to determine the property's value on the specific date required. Our timely, reliable reports help executors, attorneys, and beneficiaries navigate the estate settlement process with confidence.
Pre-Listing Appraisals
Pre-Listing Appraisals provide homeowners with an accurate market value before putting their property on the market. An independent appraisal helps you set a competitive asking price based on current market conditions and comparable sales data. This objective valuation can prevent overpricing that leads to extended market time or underpricing that costs you money. Armed with a professional appraisal, you can confidently list your property and negotiate from a position of knowledge.
Tax Appeal Appraisals
Tax Appeal Appraisals provide independent valuations to challenge property tax assessments that exceed fair market value. Our detailed reports present compelling evidence of your property's actual value, supported by comparable sales and market analysis. These appraisals meet the documentation requirements for filing successful appeals with local tax assessment boards. A professional appraisal can potentially save you thousands of dollars in property taxes over time.
Purchase or Sale Appraisals
Purchase or Sale Appraisals provide buyers and sellers with an independent opinion of a property's fair market value. An objective appraisal helps buyers avoid overpaying and gives sellers confidence they're receiving a fair offer. These valuations are essential for informed negotiations and can identify potential issues before closing. Whether you're buying or selling, a professional appraisal protects your investment and ensures you're making sound financial decisions.
Bankruptcy Appraisals
Bankruptcy Appraisals provide accurate property valuations required for bankruptcy proceedings and court filings. These appraisals help determine asset values for Chapter 7 liquidation or Chapter 13 reorganization plans. Our reports comply with bankruptcy court requirements and provide trustees, attorneys, and debtors with reliable documentation. We deliver timely, objective valuations that support fair asset distribution and help facilitate the bankruptcy process.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long does an appraisal take?
Most residential appraisals are completed within 3-7 business days from the inspection date. The timeline depends on property complexity, comparable sales availability, and current workload. Rush services may be available for time-sensitive needs.
2. What does an appraisal cost?
Appraisal fees vary based on property type, size, location, and assignment complexity. Single-family homes typically range from $450-$650, while larger or specialized properties may cost more. Contact us for a specific quote based on your property and appraisal purpose.
3. What's the difference between an appraisal and a home inspection?
An appraisal determines the property's market value, while a home inspection evaluates the physical condition and identifies potential defects. Appraisals focus on valuation for financial decisions, whereas inspections focus on structural integrity and systems functionality.
4. Do I need to be present during the appraisal inspection?
Your presence is not required, but you're welcome to attend. Access to all areas of the property, including attic, basement, and garage, is essential. If you can't be present, arrange for someone to provide access.
5. How far back do you look at comparable sales?
We typically use comparable sales from the past 3-6 months to reflect current market conditions. In slower markets or rural areas, we may extend the timeframe to 12 months to find adequate comparables.
6. Will improvements I made increase my property value?
Not all improvements add dollar-for-dollar value. Kitchen and bathroom updates typically offer the best return, while highly personalized upgrades may not appeal to all buyers. Market conditions and neighborhood standards also influence how improvements affect value.
7. How do appraisers determine property value?
Appraisers use the sales comparison approach, analyzing recent sales of similar properties in your area. We adjust for differences in size, condition, features, and location to determine fair market value based on what buyers are actually paying.
8. What information should I provide to the appraiser?
Provide a list of recent improvements with costs and dates, any property surveys, homeowners association documents, and information about unique features or upgrades. This documentation helps ensure an accurate and complete appraisal report.
