Appraisal Services

We provide comprehensive residential appraisal services for both lending and non-lending purposes. Every engagement receives our full expertise and rigorous attention to detail.

01

Lending Appraisals

USPAP-compliant appraisals for mortgage lenders, banks, and credit unions. We work with all major lending institutions across Northeast Florida to facilitate smooth, timely closings.

02

Non-Lending Appraisals

Private appraisals for homeowners, investors, and buyers seeking an independent market value assessment — without the requirements of a lender-driven transaction.

03

Divorce Appraisals

Sensitive, impartial property valuations for divorce proceedings and equitable distribution. We provide clear, defensible reports accepted by Florida family courts.

04

Estate & Date-of-Death

Retrospective appraisals for estate planning, probate, and inheritance purposes. We establish accurate value for a specific historical date with thorough documentation.

05

Tax Appeal Support

If your property tax assessment seems too high, a certified appraisal is your strongest tool. We provide reports designed to support appeals before the Value Adjustment Board — available statewide across Florida.

06

Litigation & Expert Witness

Steven Vockell is an experienced expert witness for real estate litigation. We deliver credible testimony and well-supported appraisal reports for attorneys and the courts.

07

Pre-Listing Appraisals

For real estate agents and sellers who want to list with confidence. An independent appraisal before hitting the market means accurate pricing, stronger negotiations, and fewer surprises at closing.
