For more information, check out our Services page. Founder, Jonathan Putnam, comes from a family of real estate professionals.

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 do a divorce appraisal in order to accurately estimate the fair market value of the home.Divorce appraisals for asset division should include a well-supported, professional report that's defensible in court.
Ever wonder how a bankruptcy debtor calculates the value of their home? You need to be as accurate as possible when your attorney asks you to estimate your home's value. In fact, often times an attorney will recommend their clients contact a local real estate appraiser to perform an appraisal on the home to accurately assess its current fair market value.
You need a bail bond appraisal. Meanwhile, your loved one is in jail or some type of custody. These types of appraisals are what we call "drop everything we're doing appraisals." Because when you offer real estate as a security, you need to know what a property is worth. More importantly, you need to know it fast.
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.

We had a great experience with Arizona Appraisal Advisors. Jon Putnam completed a difficult appraisal on a unique, high end, custom luxury home. He was highly knowledgeable, qualified, and efficient. Jon completed the appraisal and worked diligently with the lender to allow our closing to happen within our timeframe. Jon had wonderful communication throughout the whole process. We truly appreciated his expertise, professionalism, and efficiency during our transaction. If you need an appraisal, you can’t go wrong with Arizona Appraisal Advisors.

I had Arizona Appraisal Advisors do a market valuation on a townhome in Scottsdale that my wife and I were going to purchase. The work that John did was thorough and professional, and he delivered the appraisal one day earlier than promised. We were also thoroughly impressed with the time Jon took with us over the phone to explain his methodology. His work was well worth the investment and was very helpful in our real estate decision. I highly recommend Arizona Appraisal Advisors.

Jonathan is super knowledgeable and helped us navigate through the valuation and appraisal process for our home. He was super responsive and took the time to explain key points that gave us better insight into how the value of our home is reached. I wish all finance companies would let you choose your appraiser.
Thanks so much Jonathan!

I just had the pleasure of talking with Jon on the phone. I called with some questions about refinancing and an appraisal. Jon was extremely helpful, kind and knowledgable. He answered all of my questions in a very professional manner. It was the most helpful conversation I've had with an appraiser in my life. Thank you, Jon!

I loved working with Jonathan on the appraisal of a home that was a bit of a challenge with its golf course lot, extensive updating, smaller size and limited sales comparisons in the same neighborhood. He was very careful with his research, on-site inspection and listened to our reasoning for pricing the home the way we did. The valuation was right within line of what buyer, seller and Realtors felt the home was worth. I will not hesitate to call on Jonathan again for any appraisal needed!

As a Realtor I have used Appraisal Advisors for several of my buyers. Jon is great with clients, is willing to consult with the agents and does a through job. He is my 1st choice for an appraiser in the valley. My clients were also delighted with Jon's service which is always a plus because as a real estate professional having top notch vendor partners is key to a successful business.

Jonathan was the 3rd appraiser assigned to a house I had listed and I could not be happier with his level of service. The other 2 appraisers quit because they thought the house was too difficult to appraise but Jonathan stepped up and did a great job on the appraisal. He was very personable and excellent with my clients as well. I highly recommend him and this company to anyone who is looking to get an appraisal done.
