Residential Appraisal Services for Every Situation
Real estate decisions don’t always happen at the best time. Whether you’re dealing with a major life event or making a strategic move, we provide clear, defensible property valuations to help you move forward with confidence.
Pre-Listing Appraisals
Whether you’re listing with an agent or selling on your own, an independent appraisal tells you the real number — so you can price with confidence and walk away knowing you didn’t leave money on the table.
Divorce Appraisals
We handle divorce appraisals with complete neutrality and confidentiality. Our reports are court-admissible and hold up to scrutiny from both sides.
Estate Planning & Fair Market Value
Whether you are an executor carrying out a will, a trustee managing inherited assets, or a homeowner planning ahead, we provide accurate and defensible fair market value opinions that hold up to IRS scrutiny and satisfy all parties involved.
Date of Death Appraisals
A date-of-death valuation tells you what a property was worth on a specific past date. We specialize in these retroactive appraisals — and we research the historical comparable sales so the number is defensible, not guesswork.
Bail Bond Appraisals
If you need to post real property as collateral for a bail bond, the court requires a licensed appraisal to confirm the property’s value. We move quickly and understand the urgency of these assignments.
Foreclosure Appraisals
Lenders and servicers need to know both the fair market value and the ‘quick-sale’ value of a distressed asset. We provide both perspectives clearly and accurately, so you can make the right decision on your portfolio.
Tax Grievance Appraisals
If your local government has assessed your property above its actual market value, a certified appraisal is your strongest tool in an appeal. Our reports have helped Westchester and Florida homeowners recover meaningful savings in annual property taxes.
For Sale by Owner (FSBO)
An appraisal is your pricing anchor when there’s no agent in the room. Buyers take you more seriously, negotiations are smoother, and you go into every conversation knowing the number is backed by current market data and an independent professional.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Residential Appraisal Questions, Answered
Straight answers to the questions homeowners, attorneys, and executors ask us most.
During the 20–30 minute inspection, the appraiser will walk the interior and exterior of the property, take photos, measure square footage, and note key features including the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, condition, finishes, updates, lot size, and any unique characteristics. The appraiser is not a home inspector — they’re not looking for defects, they’re documenting the property’s characteristics to support the valuation analysis. You don’t need to prepare anything special; just ensure access to all areas of the home.
Yes — a certified appraisal is one of the strongest tools available for a property tax grievance or appeal. If your municipality has over-assessed your property relative to its actual market value, an independent appraisal gives you objective, third-party evidence to present to the assessor or review board. Many of our clients recover significant savings in annual property taxes following a successful appeal.
You’re not legally required to get an appraisal to sell, but it’s one of the smartest moves you can make before listing. A certified appraisal tells you your true market value — not an agent’s estimate shaped by commission incentives. It gives you a defensible asking price, a stronger negotiating position, and removes the risk of underpricing or sitting on the market too long. For owners considering a for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) sale, an appraisal is especially valuable as your primary pricing tool.
USPAP stands for the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice — the nationally recognized ethical and performance standards that govern real estate appraisers in the United States. All of our appraisals are USPAP-compliant, meaning they meet the requirements accepted by lenders, the IRS, courts, and federal agencies. This is a non-negotiable requirement for any appraisal used in a legal, financial, or regulated context.
