Who We Work With
For Attorneys
Valuations prepared to be relied on, questioned and defended, and delivered on your case schedule.
Get an attorney quote- Divorce And Bankruptcy Appraisals Current values or values as of a past date, like the filing, separation or petition date, documented so they hold up when opposing counsel asks how they were reached.
- Independent, For Either Side Or Both We don't advocate for anyone. Your client can engage us, or both parties can engage us jointly by agreeing in writing. Every order is checked for conflicts and prior services before it's accepted.
- Expert Testimony Depositions and trial testimony when the case needs a witness, billed separately from the appraisal and added from the portal when you need it.
- Court-Approval Orders When the court must approve the fee, nothing is charged until it does, and you get a fee letter for your application to employ.
- Firm Portal Attorneys and paralegals share your firm's account, with orders organized by case and status, documents and reports in one place.
For Estates & CPAs
Estate and probate appraisals your attorney and CPA can work with, handled with care for the family.
Get an estate quote- A Value As Of The Right Date Retrospective appraisals as of the date your attorney or CPA needs, even months or years later.
- Stepped-Up Basis Support for the cost basis heirs use when they later sell. Your CPA can tell you what applies to you.
- Fair Among Heirs An independent value every heir can see, which helps keep a family on the same page when a home is divided or one heir buys out the others.
- No One Has To Be There Vacant homes are handled with a lockbox, a key pickup or a trustee who arranges entry.
- Your Advisors Included Add your CPA or attorney to the order so they get the report and the updates. When the probate court must approve the fee, nothing is charged until it does.
For Listing Agents
Price the listing on solid ground before it hits the market, and give your seller a number they can trust.
Get a pre-listing quote- Price With Confidence An independent value with the comparable sales behind it, so the list-price conversation with your seller is about facts, not opinions.
- Fewer Appraisal Surprises Know where the value is likely to land before the buyer's lender orders its own appraisal.
- Hard-To-Price Listings Unique homes, estate sales and divorces where everyone has to agree on a number.
- Support After The Report 30 days of support for questions, and an updated value if the listing sits.

- Your Plan, Reviewed Feedback on your scope of work, budget and resale plan, including which repairs tend to add value and which don't.
- As-Is And After-Repair Values One appraisal with both numbers, for your lender or your partners.
- Avoid The Common Traps Permit, addition, layout and location problems spotted early, before they cost you.
- Keep Your Options Open Add rental comparables if you might hold and rent instead of selling.
For Homeowners
Your home is likely your biggest asset. An independent appraisal can help you save money and make the right call, without guessing.
Get a homeowner quote- Lower Your Property Taxes Many homeowners don't know they can challenge the county's assessed value. If your assessment looks high, an appraisal is the evidence you bring to a property tax appeal.
- Remove Mortgage Insurance (PMI) Once you reach about 20% equity, many loans let you drop PMI and lower your monthly payment. If your home's value has gone up, you may be there already, and an appraisal shows where you stand. Check your loan servicer's requirements first.
- Sell Without An Agent Not sure what to ask for your home? An independent value helps you avoid underpricing it or overpricing it and sitting on the market.
- Guidance From An Appraiser Questions after you get the report? You have 30 days of support to talk through the value and the sales behind it.

Questions
How fast will I get the report?
You choose the date you need it by when you book, and your due date is shown before you pay. Rush is available when the calendar allows.
Can both sides in a divorce use the same appraiser?
Yes, if both parties agree in writing to engage us jointly; then both are named in the engagement letter. Either way we're independent: the value is the same no matter who orders it. Every order is checked for conflicts before payment.
Will you testify?
Yes. Depositions and trial testimony are available, billed hourly against a retainer and separate from the appraisal.
Can you appraise as of a past date?
Yes: for an estate or probate, a filing date, a petition date or another date. Choose "A past date" in the quote.
Can a bank use your appraisal for a mortgage?
No. Mortgage lenders must order their own appraisal. If you want us for your loan, ask your lender to add us. See Mortgage appraisals.
Do you speak Spanish?
Sí. Service, documents and the client portal are available in English and Spanish.
What if I disagree with the value?
Send new information, like recent sales, through your portal within the 30-day support period and we'll review it.
Need An Appraisal For A Mortgage?
We do lender appraisals too. Your lender orders them, usually through an appraisal management company. Tell us your lender and we'll ask to be added to their approved appraisers.
