Independent residential appraisals for family law matters — current and retrospective value, prepared for negotiation, mediation, and trial. Serving family law practices across Collin, Dallas, Denton, Tarrant, Rockwall, Ellis, and Grayson counties.
Full interior-and-exterior appraisal of the marital home or other residential property, effective as of the inspection date — the figure most settlements and buyout negotiations turn on.
Effective date set to whatever the case requires — date of marriage, date of separation, date of filing — supported by comparable sales and market conditions from that period, not today's market.
Markets move between filing and final hearing. An updated appraisal or recertification keeps the value defensible as of the date that matters to the court.
A structured review of the opposing appraisal — comparable selection, adjustment support, and methodology — so you know where it holds and where it doesn't before you cross-examine it.
A short call to define the assignment: property, effective date(s), intended use, and whether the engagement is neutral or single-party. Fee quoted before engagement.
Scheduling coordinated through counsel when the property is occupied by the opposing party. Professional, low-friction, documented.
A complete, USPAP-compliant appraisal report with supported adjustments and market analysis, delivered to counsel on the agreed timeline.
Available for deposition and courtroom testimony to explain and defend the report's methodology and conclusions.
No stake in the outcome. Fees are never contingent on the value conclusion or the result of the case — the same answer regardless of which side engages me.
Every adjustment defended in the report. Comparable selection, adjustment derivation, and market conditions are documented so the conclusion survives cross-examination, not just review.
Seven counties, appraised daily. Active lender work across the DFW metro means current, first-hand market knowledge — not data pulled cold for one assignment.
The report is written for the reader who is paid to disagree with it.
