What Real Estate Appraisers Do
A certified real estate appraiser provides an objective, defensible opinion of a property's value, backed by formal methodology and local market data. Their reports are accepted by courts, lenders, and the IRS — and are often required in probate, estate settlement, divorce, tax appeals, and senior housing decisions.
Unlike a broker's price opinion, a certified appraisal is built on structured analysis and documented evidence. For families, executors, trustees, and attorneys, that difference can be what prevents a dispute, protects a fiduciary, or keeps a transaction on track.
