What You Receive
A written report delivered digitally, containing the property description, the market analysis, the comparable evidence, and a value conclusion documented well enough to stand up with courts, attorneys, the IRS, and financial institutions.
Turnaround
Most residential assignments finish within several business days. Court dates and escrow deadlines drive a lot of this work, so tell me your date at the outset and I will tell you plainly whether it is achievable.
Payment
Credit card, check, or electronic transfer, due on completion. Invoice terms can be arranged for larger assignments and for multi-property estate work.

Impartial, well-documented value opinions that let marital real estate be split fairly — relied on by family-law counsel, mediators, and the bench.
