Valuations Built to Withstand Scrutiny

Divorce and estate decisions are hard enough. An independent, fully-supported value gives everyone involved a number they can trust and move forward on.

Estate & Date-of-Death Valuation

Settling an estate calls for accurate retrospective values and clear, documented support. I'm trusted by attorneys, executors, and beneficiaries to determine date-of-death and historical market values for residential property — delivered with the discretion these matters deserve and the documentation the IRS and the courts expect.

Divorce and Legal Separation

Dividing a home is rarely simple. I provide a neutral, independent opinion of market value that both parties — and the court — can rely on. I serve as a sole or jointly-retained expert and prepare reports built to withstand review and testimony. No advocacy, no thumb on the scale.
