Need a Year-End Valuation in Atlanta? Work With Certified Local Appraisers Who Know Your Market.

As we approach the end of the year, many Atlanta homeowners, attorneys, real estate agents, and investors find themselves needing a supportable, certified appraisal — and fast. Whether it’s for legal filings, financial reporting, tax planning, or real estate investment decisions, REI Valuations & Advisory is here to provide accurate, defensible valuations backed by deep expertise in the Atlanta metro market.


We are licensed and certified appraisers, fully compliant with USPAP standards, and we serve the entire Atlanta area — including Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Clayton, Henry, and surrounding counties. If you’re looking for a valuation that holds weight with attorneys, courts, tax professionals, or relocation firms, our team delivers with speed, precision, and professionalism.


What Kind of Year-End Valuations Do We Provide?

1. Divorce Appraisals



In a divorce, equitable division of property often depends on a clear and impartial appraisal. We provide certified divorce valuations that are fully supportable for mediation, court proceedings, and attorney documentation.




If you’re going through a divorce at year-end, timing is key. Courts and attorneys often need valuations dated on or before Dec. 31 for legal compliance.

2. Probate, Estate, and Date of Death Appraisals



If you’ve recently lost a loved one, we understand that you’re managing both emotional and legal responsibilities. A date of death (DOD) appraisal is often required to establish the property’s value as of the date the decedent passed, whether for:


  • Estate settlement and probate court filings

  • IRS reporting and step-up in basis

  • Heir distribution and asset documentation



Our team specializes in retrospective valuations, using historical sales data to determine accurate value as of the specific date required. We also assist CPAs, financial advisors, and estate attorneys with certified reports suitable for federal and state use.

3. Bankruptcy Appraisals



Filing for bankruptcy involves full disclosure of assets — and that includes your real property. We offer supportable appraisals for Chapter 7, Chapter 11, and Chapter 13 filings, working directly with clients or attorneys to meet court submission deadlines.


  • Reports meet trustee and court documentation standards

  • Neutral, third-party values (not inflated by emotion or assumptions)

  • Fast turnaround to meet filing schedules

4. Employment & Relocation Appraisals



Are you relocating for a job or transferring with a company before year-end? A relocation appraisal can help establish the fair market value of your home for:


  • Employee relocation programs

  • Internal buyout offers

  • Pre-sale planning and budgeting



We understand the urgency these moves require, especially before Q4 closes out. Our team delivers ERC 2010-compliant relocation reports upon request, in addition to standard summary format reports.

5. Investor-Focused: Flip, BRRRR, and Rental Property Valuations



Investors: if you’re preparing for year-end capital events, balance sheet updates, or 1031 exchanges, you need supportable valuations for your rental or flip portfolio. We provide:




Whether you’re locking in year-end profits, planning a refinance, or preparing for tax season, our investor-focused valuations help you make confident decisions.


6. Home Measurement Services (ANSI-Compliant)



In 2023 and beyond, accurate home measurements have never been more important. We offer home measurement reports that comply with ANSI Z765-2021 standards, which are now required by most lenders and are increasingly used in FSBO and agent-listing scenarios.


  • Ideal for listing agents, FSBO sellers, or homeowners disputing square footage

  • Professional sketches with gross living area clearly delineated

  • Can be bundled with a valuation if needed


7. Forensic & Retrospective Appraisals



Need to know what the value was on a prior date? Whether it’s for legal, tax, or dispute resolution purposes, we provide retrospective appraisals that hold up under scrutiny.


Common uses include:


  • IRS step-up basis

  • Tax appeals

  • Legal disputes

  • Portfolio reviews



We reconstruct market conditions, comparable sales, and valuation methodology as of the requested effective date.


Who We Serve Across the Atlanta Metro Area



We’re not just another appraisal company — we’re a specialized valuation firm built to support a range of real estate participants across Atlanta. We regularly work with:


  • Homeowners needing clarity for personal, legal, or financial reasons

  • Attorneys (family law, probate, bankruptcy) requiring defensible, court-ready reports

  • CPAs and financial advisors navigating IRS reporting or year-end filings

  • Real estate agents and brokers who need objective data for pricing or deal negotiation

  • Investors seeking BRRRR, flip, or rental valuations

  • Executors and fiduciaries responsible for estate and trust administration


Why Now Is the Time to Book Your Appraisal



Many legal and financial events require a valuation tied to a specific year-end date — typically December 31st or prior. Appraisals often take 5 to 7 business days, and court submissions, attorney deadlines, or CPA documentation follow closely behind.


Don’t wait until the last minute. Our year-end calendar is quickly filling up — especially for divorce, estate, and tax-related assignments.

Why You Need a Divorce Appraisal to Protect Your Equity During a Property Division.

Divorce is never easy—but ensuring you receive your fair share of the home’s equity shouldn’t be another battle. Whether you’re working through an amicable separation or preparing for court proceedings, having an accurate, impartial home appraisal is one of the most important steps you can take during your divorce.


At REI Valuations & Advisory, we specialize in divorce appraisal services across the Atlanta metropolitan area. We provide detailed, defensible valuations that can help settle disputes, support negotiations, and guide attorneys, mediators, and judges toward equitable property division.


Why does it matter?


Because in Georgia, real estate is often one of the largest marital assets—and if the value is off by even 5–10%, you could be walking away from thousands in equity. Zillow estimates, online guesses, and agent CMA reports simply don’t hold up when hard numbers are required in court or mediation. A certified appraiser offers a legally recognized opinion of value that can stand up to scrutiny.


We understand the emotional and financial stress that comes with divorce. That’s why we operate with professionalism, speed, and confidentiality—often delivering appraisals within days, not weeks.


Whether you’re:




Our divorce appraisal services help ensure that you receive what you’re entitled to—nothing more, nothing less.


Don’t rely on assumptions. Rely on actual value.


We’re currently accepting only 3 new divorce appraisal cases per week to maintain fast turnaround times.
