I provide independent residential real estate appraisal services for legal, financial, tax, and asset management purposes. Each assignment is developed in conformity with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and tailored to the specific intended use and intended user identified in the engagement.
My experience includes residential properties, vacant land, acreage parcels, commercially influenced residential properties, and complex valuation assignments requiring detailed market analysis and highest and best use consideration.
Estate, Trust & Distribution of Assets
I prepare retrospective and current market value appraisals for estate settlement, probate proceedings, trust administration, and distribution of real property assets. These assignments often require valuations as of a specific historical effective date (date of death) to support stepped-up basis reporting and compliance with IRS requirements.
Charitable Contribution Appraisals
Qualified appraisal services are provided for non-cash charitable contributions involving residential real estate or land. These reports are prepared to support federal tax reporting requirements and charitable donation documentation in accordance with applicable standards.
Divorce & Separation of Assets
Independent valuations are developed for marital dissolution, mediation, and equitable distribution of real property. These assignments may involve retrospective effective dates, complex ownership interests, or coordination with legal counsel.
Private Lending & Asset-Based Financing
I provide independent valuation services for homeowners, private lending transactions, partnership buyouts, and asset-based financing decisions. These assignments support informed investment and lending strategies outside traditional institutional mortgage channels.
Vacant Land, Acreage & Complex Properties
Valuation services include vacant residential land, rural acreage, minimally improved parcels, and properties requiring detailed highest and best use analysis. Experience includes unique and complex assignments where market data interpretation and analytical judgment are critical.
Tax Appeal & Market Value Dispute Assignments
Market-supported valuation reports may be prepared to assist property owners and legal professionals in assessment disputes or valuation disagreements.
Investment & Income-Producing Residential Properties
Appraisals of 1–4 unit residential income properties may include market rent analysis, income approach considerations, and review of operating performance to support investment and asset management decisions.
Retrospective Appraisals
A retrospective appraisal determines value as of a past effective date. These assignments are commonly required for estate settlement, divorce proceedings, tax matters, and financial reporting.
Professional Standards & Scope of Work
Each appraisal assignment is developed through careful market research, comparable sales analysis, and documented support appropriate to the intended use of the report. Appraisals cannot be transferred or reused for a different purpose without a new engagement and clearly defined scope of work.
If you require an independent residential real estate appraisal, I welcome the opportunity to discuss your assignment and determine the appropriate valuation approach.
