Atlanta’s Trusted Appraisal Services — From Divorce & Date of Death to Step-Up Basis & Immigration Valuations.
When life events call for clarity, accuracy, and fast turnaround, the right real estate appraiser makes all the difference.
At REI Valuations & Advisory, we specialize in delivering timely, court-compliant appraisals for homeowners, attorneys, CPAs, and real estate professionals across the Atlanta metropolitan area — from Alpharetta to Decatur, Marietta to McDonough, and everywhere in between.
What Types of Appraisal Services Do We Offer?
1. Date of Death Appraisals (Step-Up Basis)
Losing a loved one is difficult enough — navigating tax implications shouldn’t be. We provide IRS-compliant retrospective appraisals for estate and inheritance purposes, helping heirs establish an accurate step-up basis on inherited property. This is essential for reducing capital gains when selling the home later.
Whether the passing occurred recently or years ago, we can backdate valuations to the required “date of death,” giving attorneys and CPAs the data they need to file confidently.
2. Divorce Appraisals Near You
Dividing real property during a divorce demands objectivity and accuracy. We deliver neutral, well-supported appraisals that hold up under legal scrutiny — ideal for mediation, court hearings, or attorney negotiations. We serve clients throughout Atlanta, Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Clayton, Henry, and surrounding counties.
3. Immigration Sponsorship Appraisals
If you’re sponsoring a family member or filing immigration documents that require a property asset valuation, we provide compliant appraisals that meet USCIS requirements. These reports are often needed as part of Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support) or when demonstrating real estate holdings.
4. Expert Witness Appraisal Services
Sometimes, a written report isn’t enough. We also offer expert witness testimony in litigation matters — from divorce to tax disputes to estate challenges. Our certified appraiser is prepared to defend the value with clarity, confidence, and professionalism in depositions, hearings, or courtrooms.
Whether you’re listing a property, challenging square footage discrepancies, or updating tax records, our ANSI-compliant home measurement services ensure accuracy. We use advanced tools to measure GLA (gross living area), finished basements, ADUs, and more — especially useful for real estate agents and FSBO sellers.
Appraisal Costs: What Should You Expect?
Appraisal fees vary depending on the property type, complexity, and intended use. However, our typical appraisal costs range from:
We offer transparent pricing, flat-fee quotes, and tiered service options — including restricted-use reports when full appraisals aren’t needed.
