Pre-Listing, Pre-Purchase & FSBO Appraisals

Our pre-listing and pre-purchase appraisals include:

• A full evaluation of your property’s condition, features, and upgrades

• Market research using recent comparable sales in Gilmer County

• A detailed report that supports pricing and strengthens your negotiating position

Homeowners and real estate agents in Ellijay and surrounding areas rely on our appraisals to sell faster and with greater confidence.

Financial Planning & Trust Appraisals

Real estate plays a key role in your long-term financial strategy. We work with financial advisors and estate planners to provide trusted appraisals for:

• Retirement and trust planning

• Asset management and division

• Tax and investment evaluations

Our reports are private, precise, and built to support your broader planning goals.

Divorce Appraisals with Fairness and Discretion

Property division during divorce is sensitive and complex. We provide impartial, certified appraisals that are court-ready and help both parties move forward fairly. Senior Appraiser Tracy Sosebee works directly with attorneys and clients across North Georgia to ensure accuracy and discretion in every case.

Estate and Date-of-Death Appraisals

Settling an estate often requires an IRS-compliant appraisal for probate or tax filing. We offer both current and retrospective (date-of-death) valuations based on federal standards.

Attorneys, accountants, and families in Ellijay and Gilmer County trust us for prompt, respectful service during difficult times.

Pre-Foreclosure & Short Sale Appraisals

In distressed property situations, having a clear valuation matters. We assist lenders, homeowners, and legal professionals with:

• Market and liquidation value assessments

• Condition-based reports

• Appraisal support for bank negotiations or short sale offers

No matter the condition of the property, we’re experienced in navigating these more complex scenarios.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Still paying Private Mortgage Insurance? If you’ve built enough equity, you may be able to remove it—but most lenders require a certified appraisal.

We help homeowners in Gilmer County determine eligibility and provide the documentation needed to cancel PMI and lower your monthly payments.
