Our Services

We are proud to offer a comprehensive array of appraisal services, ensuring we can meet the needs of every client. Our professional services extend to a variety of property types, including:

• Divorce Appraisals: During a divorce, dividing assets fairly is crucial. A professional and unbiased appraisal of the family home can provide the necessary foundation for a fair and equitable settlement.

• Bankruptcy Appraisal: Facing financial hardship? An accurate appraisal can help determine the value of your property and guide your bankruptcy proceedings.

• Bail Bonds Appraisals: When securing a bail bond, a property appraisal may be required to establish collateral. We provide prompt and reliable appraisals to meet this specific need.

• Estate Appraisals:

Understanding the value of assets for estate planning and probate purposes is essential. Our experienced appraisers provide detailed and accurate estate appraisals, ensuring a smooth transition of assets to beneficiaries.

• Date-of-Death Appraisals:

Similar to estate appraisals, date-of-death appraisals determine the value of assets at the time of a person's death. This information is crucial for tax and estate purposes.

• Financial Planning & Trusts:

Accurate appraisals are important for establishing the value of assets in financial plans and trusts. This ensures equitable distribution of wealth and helps meet the needs of beneficiaries.

• PMI Removal Appraisals: To remove Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) from your mortgage, you'll need a current appraisal showing sufficient equity in your home. We provide timely and accurate appraisals to meet this requirement.

• Tax Assessment Appeals: Challenging unfair property assessments can save you money. Our appraisals provide the necessary evidence to support your appeal and potentially reduce your tax burden.

Pre-Listing & FSBO Appraisals

Whether you're listing your home with a realtor or selling it yourself (FSBO), a pre-listing appraisal can help determine a fair and competitive asking price.

• Measurement Services:

We offer precise measurement services, essential for obtaining accurate square footage and room dimensions, which is crucial for accurate appraisals.

• Rush Appraisals:

Understanding that time is often of the essence, we offer expedited appraisal services for urgent situations.
