In recent years Alta Associates Appraisals has appraised thousands of residential properties, our most utilized area of expertise. The residential real estate appraisal is a market based estimate of a properties value. Obtaining the most accurate estimate of value is extremely important, especially during these times. The benefit of using a Certified Residential Appraiser is to determine the most realistic estimate of value of a home. The value provided is typically more accurate than those obtained, for example, via CMA's done by realtors, AVM's utilized by lenders, and web sites that claim they can provide a homeowner with an accurate value. This is rarely the case. Without inspection of the property by a licensed experienced local certified real estate appraiser, an accurate valuation of your property might not be determined.  Our appraisals include Mortgage , Tax Appeals , Estate , Divorce , Bankruptcy, Relocation and  More. We are available any time, 973.715.1700.
