A home purchase is the largest, single investment most people will ever make. Whether it's a primary residence, a second vacation home or an investment, the purchase of real property is a complex financial transaction that requires multiple parties to pull it all off. Most of the people involved are very familiar.
If you are going to sell your home you would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Professional appraisals do not cost money, they pay in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle on real estate values.
Settling an estate is an important and sometimes stressful job. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the deceased as swiftly and exactly as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with sensitivity to the feelings of everyone involved. Attorneys and Accountants rely on our values when calculating real property values for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a value being placed on real property.
Finalizing a divorce involves many decisions, including "Who gets the house"? There are generally two options regarding the house - it can be sold and the proceeds divided, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties should order an appraisal of the residence. Divorce appraisals require a well supported, professional appraisal that is defensible in court.

Report
Much like the other 1-star reviewer here, the report we received from this appraiser was non-sensical. Outdated comps. Incomparable "comps". Inconsistent logic. We wrote an appeal letter highlighting three very fundamental mistakes she had made - not properly accounting for the planned remodel (refi was a construction loan), not using "like" nearby and/or recent comps and valuing finished interior space at a lower value than unfinished garage space. After three weeks of "working" on a re-appraisal, the value came back unchanged. Completely incompetent.

If there's a zero option I'd give it that, Ms. Aho is very IRRESPONSIBLE to her appraisal/findings, a year ago she did our refi appraisal, she was late, unprofessional when she finally showed up, her appraisal was TOTALLY off, the comparisons she found was mostly irrelevant to our location, she appraised our house for 389K, a year later, a much more reputable appraisal company did a thorough search on properties in our area, it came back 450K! HUGE difference! We're doing refi again, but we had to wait a while due to Ms. Aho's incompetent report on our house, when you chose a PROFESSIONAL appraiser
