Schedule Your Certified Home AppraisalWhat Is a Residential Appraisal?
A residential appraisal is an independent, certified evaluation of a home's fair market value. It's required for most mortgage transactions and often plays a pivotal role in refinancing, tax appeals, divorce settlements, and estate planning.
A credible appraisal doesn’t rely on square footage alone. It also factors in location, property condition, recent comparable sales, and local market trends. Our reports are built to meet strict regulatory standards and are trusted by lenders, attorneys, and private homeowners.
Why Do You Need an Appraisal?
A common reason for a property appraisal is to evaluate a competitive, realistic asking price before a sale. However, property appraisals support more than just real estate transactions.
Here are some common reasons homeowners and buyers seek out our services:
- Mortgage approval: Most lenders require an appraisal before finalizing a loan.
- Refinancing: Appraisals ensure your property supports the requested loan amount.
- Estate settlement: Fair market value assessments are important for inheritance or probate matters.
- Divorce proceedings: Equitable property division requires accurate valuation.
- Property tax appeals: Use an appraisal to dispute inflated assessments.
No matter the reason, we tailor our process to your situation while maintaining accuracy, discretion, and professionalism.
