Foreclosure & REO Appraisals in Atlanta.

As-Is, As-Repaired, and Liquidation Value Appraisals for Distressed Properties

Foreclosure and REO (Real Estate Owned) properties require specialized valuation that considers distressed conditions, legal encumbrances, and market stigma. Whether you’re a lender, asset manager, investor, or attorney involved in a foreclosure process, we provide reliable, USPAP-compliant appraisals that reflect real market conditions and resale potential.

What Is a Foreclosure or REO Appraisal?

A foreclosure appraisal is a valuation of a property that is either in pre-foreclosure, in the process of foreclosure, or has already become bank-owned (REO). These appraisals often include:

  • As-Is Value — Reflects current condition

  • As-Repaired (ARV) — Post-rehab market value

  • Quick Sale / Liquidation Value — Hypothetical 30–60 day sell-off price

  • Marketability commentary — Based on distress, stigma, or deferred maintenance

We tailor our foreclosure reports to meet the needs of:

  • Banks and credit unions

  • Private lenders and servicers

  • Investors evaluating distressed deals

  • Bankruptcy or foreclosure attorneys

  • Courts, trustees, and receivers

Foreclosure / REO Appraisal – Q&A

Q: What’s the difference between a foreclosure appraisal and a regular one?

A: Foreclosure appraisals often account for deferred maintenance, legal risk, or poor condition. We also consider time-to-sell, buyer demand, and “distressed” comps that wouldn’t be included in a standard retail valuation.

Q: Can you appraise REO properties for banks or asset managers?

A: Yes. We’re experienced in REO property valuation and provide both as-is and ARV opinions to support liquidation, listing, or auction pricing decisions.

Q: Do you work with investors buying foreclosures at auction or off-market?

A: Absolutely. We provide investment-focused appraisals that include rehab value (ARV) and potential cap rate or rent projections if you’re planning to flip or hold.

Q: Can I use this appraisal for short sale negotiations?

A: Yes. A professional appraisal can help support or challenge a lender’s value in a short sale situation, and may help justify a payoff reduction or loan modification.

Q: Do you provide expert witness services in foreclosure cases?

A: We do. If you’re involved in a legal dispute around foreclosure value, we can appear as a valuation expert in court or arbitration.

How Much Does a Foreclosure or REO Appraisal Cost?

Pricing typically ranges from $450 to $650, depending on:

  • Property size and location

  • Degree of damage or deferred maintenance

  • Number of value scenarios (e.g., As-Is, ARV, liquidation)

  • Intended use (internal analysis vs. court-ready report)
