Real Estate Appraisal Services


American Property Appraisal, LLC provides independent residential real estate appraisal services throughout Western Washington. With more than 20 years of appraisal experience, we provide carefully researched, well-supported opinions of value for attorneys, estate representatives, homeowners, fiduciaries and other private clients.

Estate & Probate Appraisals

Real estate is often one of the most significant assets in an estate. We provide independent appraisals for probate, estate administration, inheritance, asset distribution and other estate-related purposes.

Date-of-Death & Retrospective Valuations

When an opinion of value is needed as of a prior date, we provide retrospective appraisals based on market conditions and comparable sales applicable to the required effective date. These assignments are commonly requested for estate and tax-related purposes.

Divorce & Property Division Appraisals

We provide independent real estate valuations for divorce, separation, property division and buyout decisions. Our role is to provide an objective, well-supported opinion of value that can assist clients and their professional advisors in making informed decisions.

Private Property Appraisals

Homeowners and other property owners may need an independent appraisal for many reasons unrelated to mortgage lending, including pre-listing decisions, family transfers, buyouts, financial planning and determining the current market value of real property.

Attorney, CPA & Fiduciary Appraisal Services

We work with attorneys, accountants, trustees, executors, personal representatives and other professionals who require credible, independent real estate valuation services for their clients.

Complex & Unique Residential Properties

Our experience includes acreage properties, waterfront homes, manufactured homes, condominiums, small income properties and other complex or unusual residential assignments.
