Our Services
We specialize in non-lender appraisal work — the services homeowners, attorneys, and financial professionals need most.
PMI Removal Appraisals
If your home has appreciated since purchase, you may be able to eliminate your private mortgage insurance (PMI) with an independent appraisal showing your loan-to-value ratio is below 80%. This can save hundreds of dollars per month.
- Independent valuation accepted by most lenders
- Typically saves $100-300/month in PMI premiums
- Fast turnaround — usually 5-7 business days
Divorce & Dissolution Appraisals
An impartial, defensible property valuation is essential for equitable division of marital assets. Our appraisals are prepared to withstand legal scrutiny and are regularly relied upon by family law attorneys throughout the Tri-Cities area.
- Court-ready reports with full USPAP compliance
- Impartial — we work for accuracy, not an outcome
- Expert witness testimony available if needed
Estate & Trust Appraisals
Whether for probate, trust administration, or estate planning, accurate property valuation protects beneficiaries and satisfies fiduciary requirements. We work directly with estate attorneys and trustees.
- Current value and retrospective valuations
- Compliant with IRS and probate court requirements
- Direct coordination with attorneys and trustees
Tax Appeal Appraisals
If your county assessment seems too high, an independent appraisal provides the evidence needed to appeal. We analyze comparable sales, property condition, and market trends to support your case.
- Detailed comparable sales analysis
- Documentation for Board of Equalization hearings
- Potential savings of hundreds per year in property taxes
Pre-Listing Appraisals
Know your home's true market value before you list. A pre-listing appraisal helps you price competitively, reduces days on market, and gives buyers confidence — often leading to smoother transactions.
- Set the right asking price from day one
- Reduce negotiation and price reduction risk
- Build buyer confidence with third-party validation
Date-of-Death Valuations
IRS regulations often require property to be valued as of the owner's date of death for estate tax and stepped-up basis purposes. We provide retrospective valuations using market data from the relevant time period.
- Retrospective valuations to any past date
- IRS-compliant methodology and documentation
- Critical for stepped-up basis calculations
Conventional Lender Appraisals
We also accept conventional lender orders for purchase, refinance, and home equity appraisals. All reports are USPAP-compliant and delivered through standard AMC and lender channels.
- Purchase, refinance, and HELOC appraisals
- USPAP-compliant with full market analysis
- Timely delivery through your preferred platform
