Most people meet an appraiser through a lender. But divorces, estates, PMI decisions and home sales need a reliable value too — one prepared for you and your advisors, not a bank.
Choose your situation
- Divorce Appraisals → Neutral value (full appraisal required for contested divorces) for buyouts and settlements; current or retrospective dates; joint engagements welcome.
- Estate, Probate & Date-of-Death → Values for executors, trustees, heirs, attorneys and CPAs.
- PMI Removal → See if your current value supports cancelling private mortgage insurance.
- Pre-Listing & FSBO → Price it right before you list.
- Other private uses: trusts and gifts, partnership or heir buyouts, bankruptcy, relocation, solar/ADU value questions, investor value checks — ask us.
