Accurate and Timely Reports

 A professional real estate appraisal provides an independent, unbiased opinion of a property's market value. While many people associate appraisals with buying or refinancing a home, they are also used for a variety of legal, financial, and personal purposes. 

Choose an Independent Appraisal!

 Unlike automated online estimates or informal opinions, a professional appraisal is developed by a licensed appraiser who inspects the property, researches the local market, analyzes comparable sales, and prepares a comprehensive report in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). The result is a credible, well-supported opinion of value you can rely on. 

Common Reasons to Order an Appraisal

  • Buying a Home – Ensure you're paying a fair market price. 
  • Selling a Home – Establish a competitive and well-supported listing price. 
  • Refinancing – Meet lender requirements when obtaining a new mortgage. 
  • Estate Planning & Probate – Determine fair market value for inheritance, estate administration, or tax purposes. 
  • Divorce & Marital Dissolution – Assist with the equitable division of real estate assets. 
  • Property Tax Appeals – Support an appeal when you believe your property has been over-assessed. 
  • Pre-Listing Appraisals – Help sellers price their property before it goes on the market. 
  • Private Sales – Provide an objective value when buying or selling without a real estate agent. 
  • Financial Planning – Understand your property's current market value for investment or net-worth purposes. 
  • Bankruptcy Proceedings – Provide a credible opinion of value for legal and financial matters. 
  • Trust & Asset Management – Establish value for trusts, guardianships, or fiduciary responsibilities. 
  • Insurance & Legal Matters – Support property valuation needs in certain legal proceedings or disputes (when market value is required).
