Common Questions

Atlanta Appraisal FAQs

Answers to the most common questions we receive from homeowners, investors, and attorneys across Metro Atlanta.

How much does a home appraisal cost in Atlanta, GA?
Appraisal fees vary depending on the type of service, property size, location, and complexity of the assignment. We offer a range of valuation products to fit different needs and budgets — from streamlined valuation reports to full USPAP-compliant certified appraisals. Contact us for a custom quote tailored to your specific property and purpose.
What is the difference between a real estate appraisal and a CMA or Zestimate?
A certified appraisal is a formal, legally defensible opinion of value prepared by a licensed appraiser under USPAP standards. It is accepted by lenders, courts, and government agencies. A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is prepared by a real estate agent for pricing purposes and carries no legal or lending weight. A Zestimate is an automated estimate generated by an algorithm with no property inspection — it can vary significantly from actual market value and is not accepted for any legal or lending purpose. When accuracy and credibility matter, a certified appraisal is the only reliable option.
What is an ARV appraisal and do I need one for fix-and-flip investing?
An After Repair Value (ARV) appraisal estimates what a property will be worth after planned renovations are complete. It is essential for fix-and-flip investors, wholesalers, and hard money lenders who need to verify potential profit margins before committing capital. Unlike a standard appraisal, an ARV report accounts for both the current as-is condition and a projected post-renovation value based on comparable improved sales. We specialize in ARV appraisals across Metro Atlanta and surrounding Georgia counties.
Can I dispute or challenge a low appraisal?
Yes. If you believe an appraisal came in below the true market value of your property, you have the right to request a reconsideration of value. The most effective approach is to provide documented evidence of comparable sales that support a higher value. An independent second appraisal or appraisal review from a certified appraiser can also strengthen your case. Our consultation service is specifically designed to help homeowners and agents navigate low appraisal situations in the Metro Atlanta market.
How long does a real estate appraisal take in Georgia?
Turnaround time depends on the complexity of the appraisal assignment, the property type, and current scheduling availability. Standard reports are typically delivered within a few business days of the property inspection. Rush assignments are available in some cases — contact us to discuss your timeline.
Do you provide appraisals for divorce, estate, or tax appeal purposes?
Yes. Our certified appraisals are accepted by Georgia family courts and probate courts. We provide independent, defensible valuations that hold up in legal proceedings across all Metro Atlanta counties. For estate matters, we provide date-of-death retrospective appraisals when a historical value is required. For property tax appeals, we provide well-supported market analyses that document discrepancies between assessed value and actual market value.
Do you appraise multi-family or commercial properties?
Our primary focus is residential property — single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, and small multi-family properties (typically 1–4 units) across Metro Atlanta. For larger multi-family or commercial assignments, contact us to discuss the scope and we can advise on the appropriate service.
Which Atlanta counties do you serve?
We serve Fulton, Henry, Clayton, DeKalb, Rockdale, Newton, Cobb, Gwinnett, and Spalding counties. Our appraisers have deep local market knowledge throughout the greater Metro Atlanta region. If your property is in a nearby county not listed, contact us — we may still be able to assist.
