Why independence matters
Clear, well-supported valuation for decisions that matter
When a value will be read by an attorney, an accountant, a mediator or a court, who produced it matters. The role is to research the market, analyze the data and report a supported conclusion — clearly enough that someone not involved in the analysis can follow the reasoning.
Residential appraisal experience since 2009 across the central Puget Sound. About the practice.
No interest in the outcome
No stake in whether a property sells, at what price, or how a settlement is resolved.
Documented reasoning
Scope of work, effective date and supporting analysis are stated, so an attorney, accountant or court can follow the conclusion.
An explicit effective date
Current and retrospective assignments are both performed. In retrospective work the effective date controls the data set, so it is confirmed up front.
Professional standards
Developed under professional appraisal standards by a state-certified appraiser — not an informal estimate or pricing opinion.
Who we work with
Appraisal Services for Individuals & Professionals
Assignments come from owners acting for themselves and from professionals acting for clients. The intended use and intended users are identified before work begins.
Homeowners & Private Clients
You are making a decision worth more than the appraisal costs and need a figure that is not tied to a commission or a listing.
Private valuationsAttorneys & Law Firms
A value that opposing counsel will read has to hold up on its own reasoning, tied to a clearly stated effective date.
How referrals workDivorce & Family Law Matters
When two people must divide one house, a neutral third party removes the argument over whose number is right.
Divorce appraisalsEstate, Probate & Trust Professionals
Fiduciaries carry personal responsibility for the values they report, often as of a date already in the past.
Estate & date-of-deathTax Assessment & Appeal Matters
An assessed value is a mass-appraisal estimate; challenging it takes property-specific market evidence.
