Date-of-Death and Retrospective Appraisals

Some assignments require an opinion of market value as of a date in the past. A retrospective appraisal considers the property's characteristics and relevant market information as of the specified historical effective date.

Property Tax Assessment Appeals

If you believe your property assessment may be inaccurate, an appraisal may provide market evidence relevant to your review or appeal. Assessment rules, deadlines and valuation dates are determined by the applicable taxing authority. An appraisal does not guarantee a reduction in assessed value or property taxes.

Contact us to discuss the property and the valuation date relevant to your assessment matter.

Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) and Home Equity Valuations

Homeowners sometimes request an independent appraisal when exploring PMI cancellation or reviewing their home's value for home equity financing. Before ordering an appraisal, confirm with your lender whether an outside appraisal is accepted, what valuation process is required and which eligibility rules apply.

PMI cancellation, home equity lending and reinstatement of a home equity line of credit are determined by the lender and applicable loan requirements. An independent appraisal does not guarantee approval.

Appraisal Review Services

When you need an independent review of an existing residential appraisal, contact us to discuss the report, intended use and appropriate review scope. Depending on the assignment, a review may involve research, analysis and additional property observations.
