USPAP-compliant residential and small income property appraisals across Middle Tennessee. Every report signed by a licensed appraiser with 40+ years of experience.
When property value is in dispute, attorneys need an appraiser who can produce a defensible report and hold up under cross-examination. This is not the same work as a standard mortgage appraisal.

Real property is often the largest asset in a divorce estate. An independent appraisal provides the factual foundation for equitable distribution — whether parties settle or litigate.

| Effective dates | Current or retrospective |
| Who orders | Either party, jointly, or via attorney |
| Testimony | Available if matter proceeds to hearing |
Estate appraisals must reflect market value as of the date of death, not today's market. These assignments require careful research into historical sales and market conditions.
| Effective date | Date of death, date of gift, or current |
| IRS compliance | Reports meet requirements for 706 and 8283 filings |
| Documentation | Full support package provided to CPA or attorney |
When a transaction doesn't involve a traditional lender — or when you want an independent opinion before you act — a private appraisal gives you an independent, documented number.
| Report format | 1004 (SFR), 1073 (condo), 1025 (2–4 unit) |
| Turnaround | 5–7 business days standard |
| Fee structure | Flat fee quoted before engagement |

| Jurisdiction | Tennessee county and state boards |
| Effective date | Tied to assessment year per county schedule |
