Dougherty

We are a mid-sized appraisal firm who has been outperforming our competitors with superior service, turn-around times, and open lines of communication since 1994. We are constantly monitoring the appraisal industry, lending industry, government agencies, and computer/communications industries to stay as current and cutting edge as possible.

We can help you reduce your property taxes without leaving your house. We will prepare an appraisal for you to submit to your Board of Assessment or local tax assessor. We walk you through every aspect of the process - including how to complete the appeal form. The only things you will need to do are schedule an appraisal appointment with us and mail your appeal to the Board or assessor.

At James Dougherty Appraisers we specialize in doing appraisal work for bankruptcy proceedings. For a chapter 13 bankruptcy case, it is paramount to accurately establish value on any of the real estate assets. Between irresponsible lending practices and the current poor housing market, home owners are often in an under-water position.

The division of real estate assets can be one of the more anxious phases of any divorce. It is critical that these assets be valued accurately. It is equally critical that the appraisals being relied on for the asset valuations are deemed to be credible by an arbitrator, master, or judge. You can rely on James Dougherty Appraisers for your divorce appraisals.

Whether you need an appraisal for QPRT purposes, probate purposes, or asset update purposes, you need to know that your client is in good hands.
