For most people, a home is one of the biggest investments they’ll ever make, whether you’re buying, selling, or refinancing. As a homeowner, potential buyer, or lender, having an accurate appraisal of a residential property is crucial to making informed decisions.

I bring years of experience to the table when it comes to appraising residential properties. From single-family homes to more complex residential properties, I understand the factors that can influence a property’s value—from location and market trends to property condition and neighborhood dynamics. My goal is to provide you with a clear, reliable assessment, so you can move forward with confidence, whether you’re a homeowner looking to sell, a buyer seeking financing, or a lender managing risk.

With residential appraisals, I take a thorough approach, considering both the property’s current market value and any potential factors that could impact its future worth. I know how important it is for you to get an accurate appraisal, whether you’re evaluating your home’s equity, securing a loan, determining the right price to sell your home, or setting a competitive price for a new purchase.

If you’re in need of a residential property appraisal, I’m here to help guide you through the process with the insights and expertise you need.

I complete real estate appraisals for lenders and private individuals on both small and large income-producing properties. Multi-family properties require a deep understanding of the complexities involved. When it comes to appraising properties with five or more units, a General State Certification is required, especially for any appraisal tied to Federal financing or bank lending. That’s why it’s critical to work with an appraiser who is fully qualified. I hold a General Certification (Commercial Appraiser) in both Iowa and Illinois, so you can rest assured that your multi-family appraisal is in experienced hands.

My strength in multi-family appraisal doesn’t just come from my certification—it comes from real-world experience. As both an investor and a property owner, I’ve gained invaluable insights from being in the trenches. Over the years, I’ve made great decisions and learned from a few humbling mistakes. For almost eleven years, I was a partner in a property management company that serviced not only the Iowa Quad Cities but also Iowa City. This hands-on experience has given me a unique perspective on what truly drives value in multi-family properties.

Real estate is challenging—there are so many moving parts, especially in the multi-family sector. But I understand those moving parts, from managing rental income to evaluating market conditions. Whether you’re an investor or a lender, I’m here to help you navigate the complexities of multi-family real estate and ensure that your appraisal reflects the full potential of your investment.

Valuing land is about more than just understanding its current use—it’s about recognizing its potential. Whether you’re an investor, a land user, or a lender financing land purchase, you need accurate and insightful valuations to make informed decisions. With my background in real estate appraisal, I specialize in providing thorough land valuations that consider not just the here and now, but also future possibilities.

As a certified appraiser with years of experience, I know that land valuations are unique. There are no buildings to assess or rental incomes to consider, so the focus shifts to things like zoning, topography, access to utilities, environmental factors, and market demand. I look at every angle—whether it’s raw land waiting for development, agricultural land, or land in transition for commercial use. My goal is to provide a valuation that reflects the true market value while also giving you insights into how the land could be utilized or developed.

For lenders, accurate land valuation is crucial in managing risk and ensuring the land will support the loan. I ensure every appraisal is backed by thorough research, market analysis, and a comprehensive understanding of the property’s potential.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or financing land, you need an appraiser who can see the bigger picture—someone who understands the key factors that influence land value and can provide a clear, reliable assessment. My goal is to ensure you have the information and confidence to make informed decisions about your investment.
