Atlanta Home Appraisers for Divorce, Estate, IRS & Tax Appeal- Non-Lending Experts You Can Trust
At REI Valuations, we specialize in non-lending residential appraisals throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area. Whether you’re navigating a legal matter, planning to sell, or need to report to a government agency, our licensed home appraisers provide accurate, defensible valuations tailored to your unique situation.
Below is an overview of the appraisal services we offer:
Divorce Appraisals (Family Law)
If you’re going through a divorce, you may need a formal appraisal to determine the fair market value of the marital home. Our impartial appraisals help support equitable distribution of assets and are accepted in court. We work closely with attorneys and both parties to ensure the report is clear, timely, and defensible.
Settling an estate or dealing with probate? Our estate appraisals are commonly used to establish the date-of-death value or retrospective value of the property for inheritance and tax reporting. We help fiduciaries, executors, heirs, and attorneys handle estate matters with confidence and compliance.
Gifting a property or facing an audit? The IRS requires a qualified appraisal when reporting real estate gifts or preparing estate tax filings. We provide USPAP-compliant reports tailored to IRS Form 709 and Form 706 needs, ensuring accuracy and credibility in case of review.
Property Tax Appeal Appraisals
Think your tax assessment is too high? You may be overpaying in property taxes. We conduct independent, well-supported appraisals that can be used in tax appeal hearings to help you reduce your annual property tax burden.
Pre-Listing Appraisals (FSBO & Agent)
Before you list your home for sale, especially as a For Sale By Owner (FSBO), a pre-listing appraisal gives you confidence in your asking price. It also provides an objective baseline for negotiating with buyers or agents. We help you price with precision.
We also complete appraisals for purposes such as bankruptcy, foreclosure defense, asset division, and financial planning. Our focus is strictly on private-party, non-lender work — no bank or AMC red tape, just responsive, personalized service.
Locally Based: We serve the Atlanta Metro Area and understand its neighborhood-level nuances.
Licensed & Insured: You get a credentialed appraiser, not an automated estimate.
Experienced in Legal Work: We’re fluent in USPAP, retrospective appraisals, and court-ready reports.
Direct-to-Consumer Focus: No middlemen, just real answers from real professionals.
Attorney & CPA Approved: We frequently collaborate with professionals across probate, tax, and family law.
If you need a reliable home appraisal for divorce, estate, tax appeal, or IRS purposes, we’re here to help.

How Much Does a Home Appraisal Cost in Atlanta?
Understanding local pricing, what influences it, and how to choose the right appraiser
If you’re preparing for a real estate transaction, dealing with a divorce, handling probate, or even protesting your property taxes, you’ve probably asked yourself:
“How much does a home appraisal cost in Atlanta?”
It’s a fair question—and the answer can vary depending on your situation.
Average Home Appraisal Costs in the Atlanta Metro Area
In the Atlanta metropolitan area, the typical cost for a standard single-family home appraisal ranges from $375 to $700, depending on:
Size and complexity of the property
Intended use (e.g., divorce, estate, tax appeal, pre-listing, etc.)
Location/accessibility (Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Clayton, Gwinnett, etc.)
Turnaround time (rush orders cost more)
For example:
A small, typical home in East Point or Forest Park might fall near the lower end of the range.
A unique or larger property in Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, or Decatur may require a more in-depth analysis and cost more.
Specialized use cases like probate or divorce appraisals often include additional reporting or documentation requirements, which can affect pricing.
Why the Range?
Not all appraisals are created equal. Here’s what might influence your quote:
Property Type: Condos, single-family homes, or multi-family units can require different levels of analysis.
Intended Use: Appraisals for legal purposes (e.g., court testimony, IRS compliance) must meet stricter standards.
Report Format: Some clients request restricted-use reports (like our new [Home Value Audit service]) vs. full narrative appraisals.
Timeframe: If you need a 24- to 48-hour rush, there’s typically a surcharge.
