Residential Appraisals
A complete opinion of value for single-family homes, condominiums, townhomes, and residential acreage — for lenders and appraisal management companies, and for private clients who need an accurate, independent number for a personal decision.
Estate & Date-of-Death Valuations
Retrospective appraisals that establish market value as of a specific prior date — most often a date of death. Prepared for estate settlement, probate, and establishing a stepped-up basis, with the documentation accountants and the IRS expect.

Divorce appraisal guide →Pre-Listing & Pre-Purchase (FSBO)

Pre-listing appraisal guide →Getting a mortgage or refinancing? Your lender orders that appraisal and chooses the appraiser — federal appraiser-independence rules don’t let borrowers hire their own for a loan. Everything else — estate, divorce, pre-listing, pre-purchase — you can order directly.
