Challenge Tax Assessment
It's likely you're paying too much in property taxes if you live in an area where property values have depreciated. Property taxes are determined by a past assessment of your real estate, so if values have gone down in your area, you can challenge your assessment and save money. An appraisal from Platinum Appraisals, LLC is your best evidence when building your case.
Estate Liquidation
The death of a loved one is a hard time in life, and settling an estate from a death, or probate, often calls for an appraisal to establish Market Value for the residential property involved. We ensure the highest degree of discretion, as we're bound with confidentiality by the ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.
Most Americans do not have dedicated estate planners or executors to handle these matters, unlike wealthy individuals. And seeing that a home or other property often makes up an uneven share of the total estate value, understanding the correct value of the real estate at hand is of vital importance to ensuring disputing parties leave knowing they've received a fair deal.

Valuation Pre-sale
Whether you choose to sell your home on your own or use the assistance of a real estate agent, a professional appraisal can help you make a better educated decision regarding your asking price. With much different interests than a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what price the house sells for. Our fees depend on our efforts to perform the appraisal report and not a percentage of the sales price.
