Applying for a mortgage loan? You can pick your friends but you can’t pick your appraiser.

Why? Parties directly involved in the mortgage transaction cannot legally determine who appraises a property.

Good news! We work closely with local and national lenders for a variety of valuation services. If your institution has hired us to perform an appraisal, we’ll be in touch to schedule soon.

Are you looking for an estate tax appraisal so you can accurately report a property value to the IRS? Or perhaps you’re establishing or closing out an estate trust. We can get the ball rolling and specialize in current and retrospective market value appraisals.

Stuck in probate? We understand this can be a lengthy process and are here to develop timely appraisals for the probate valuation process.

Looking to place your home on the market?

Whether listing for sale by owner or with an agent, a current appraisal is a valuable asset when setting the listing price.

Contact us today for a pre-listing appraisal to determine your property’s market value.

When it comes time to divide assets, a property is usually sold or one “buys out” another. Either way, a quality appraisal can guide the process and provide fair market value.

The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) contains an ethics provision which binds us with confidentiality and the utmost discretion.

It’s always best to check with your county on documentation requirements but in many cases, an appraisal can support claims in fluctuating market conditions.

If you purchased a home with conventional financing and put less than 20% down, it’s likely you’re paying PMI (private mortgage insurance) monthly. Many homeowners mistakenly pay this longer than necessary.

Most lenders require a real estate appraisal by a state certified appraiser as the primary proof required to eliminate unnecessary PMI insurance.

We can help determine the equity in your home putting money back into your pocket.
