Real Estate Appraisals

FHA- Approved

Alexandra has experience in completing appraisals for a variety of property types such as single-family, multi-family, manufactured homes, and condominiums. She is qualified and approved to complete appraisals for properties insured by the Federal Housing Administration.

Foreclosure/REO Appraisal

Homes in foreclosure or owned by a lending institution require not only an “as is” market value but also a disposition value. A disposition value is the value of the home assuming it needs to be sold quickly. These properties often require an “as-repaired” value as foreclosed homes can have significant issues requiring repair.

Estate Appraisals

When settling an estate, attorneys and accountants may require an estate appraisal. Typically, this appraisal will require a market value as of the date of death rather than the date of inspection. These retroactive appraisals require a detailed analysis of the property and market in order to ensure that the executor is meeting all IRS and state agency requirements.

Commercial Reviews

Need a commercial appraiser to ensure a commercial appraisal meets USPAP, FIRREA, and bank-specific compliance? The commercial real estate appraisal is complex and a second set of eyes to ensure calculations, logic and analysis are above board is one way banks can manage risk.
