People think that they can save money by getting their homes value from an online source or going with the cheapest appraiser out there, but they are disappointed when they have to spend more money to get real value from a qualified local appraiser, who knows the market. Online sites that claim to "know" the value of your home, but are often very far off from the actual value.
I can provide an accurate, detailed colored report that supported by market data. My reports show you exactly what your home is worth so that you are not leaving money on the table. Many properties have unique features that make it hard to determine the true market value of a property. Do you think that an online service or the cheapest appraiser out there are going to give you an accurate value on your home?

Today's market can be challenging. Whether you're a homeowner selling your property on your own or a seasoned realtor trying to establish a fair list price it's often difficult to sift through all of the market data to determine a true value for your home. So it's common for homeowners and realtors to rely on appraisers for assistance when establishing a list price for the sale of their home.
In today's highly competitive real estate industry, there has never been a greater need for accurate reporting of a property's true living area as all too often the gross living area reported on public records differs from what actually exists.

Settling an estate is one of those things that most people know little about until they actually go through the experience. So we hope to offer you a bit of insight below into the process of estate settlement as it pertains to real estate appraisals. When an estate has a transfer of ownership due to death or inheritance, it is very common for a real estate appraisal to be needed for tax purposes.
Divorce is a painful process in which there are many decisions to be made including 'who's staying' and 'who's going' when determining what happens to the house. Often times the home is put up for sale in which the profits are split or otherwise one of the parties typically buys out the other. In either case, one or both parties should hire the services of a professional real estate appraiser to estimate the fair market value of the home.

I had a great experience with Lane and the Acadiana Appraisals team. They were efficient, timely, communicated well, and spent extra time with me as we went through various questions. Lane recognized that I had a non-standard property and paid special attention to my circumstances. Thanks team!

I called on a Thursday and got an appointment for an appraisal the following Monday. Everyone that I spoke to on the phone or met in person were all very nice and professional. I received the appraisal report in less than 2 weeks! I would definitely recommend Acadiana Appraisals!

To avoid any confusion due the name and picture on this post, I would like to say that my name is Dianna M. Romero--Sheldon is my husband. This evening I end where I began a few weeks ago. I was in need of an Appraiser and really did not know anyone personally. When I ran across Duplechin Appraisals, I was very impressed with the reviews. Out of 27 reviews, 26 were 5-star reviews. Only 1 review was negative. I read the lone negative review and was very impressed with Mr. Duplechin's response. He responded with such grace--such professionalism--such courteousness--such patience! That response was

Lane was very professional and diligent. He arrived exactly when he said he would, explained his process to appraise our house and was very thorough. He took time to answer any questions we had. His report was very concise and with the appraisal we now know the value of our home. I would highly recommend him.

Having been appraising for nearly 30 years, I can state with confidence that Lane Duplechin is a very thorough, honest and competent appraiser. When he first approached me about getting in the Appraisal Business, he was eager to learn and was completely focused to learn the business to become a highly recommended appraiser. Lane is a very competent and thorough appraiser in the Lafayette and surrounding area and has continued his education to earn the appraisal designation as a SRA. It was a pleasure to work with Lane during the time it took to become a state certified appraiser and his attitude
