Private residential appraisals
Find the right appraisal.
Private current-value appraisals start at $400; estate or retrospective, divorce or buyout, and residential property-tax appeal appraisals start at $475. A typical on-site visit takes 20–40 minutes, and reports are typically delivered 1–3 business days afterward. Complex scope, documents, access and availability may require more time. Red Oak confirms the written total fee and expected delivery window before acceptance. Review the starting-fee table. If you’re unsure which service fits, send the address and explain why you need a value.
