Frequently Asked Questions
Appraisals provide an accurate picture of a property’s worth. They’re used for buying, selling, refinancing, estate planning, divorce settlements, litigation, and tax purposes.
It depends. For mortgages or refinancing, the lender hires the appraiser. For personal needs (selling, estate planning, etc.), you can hire an appraiser directly.
Yes. In addition to residential homes, we provide appraisals for vacant land, farms, commercial and industrial properties.
