Foreclosure

If you’re filing a non judicial foreclosure

You may wish to have an appraisal conducted to establish the fair market value prior to sale on the courthouse steps. As you know, without a bullet proof defensible appraisal you may not be able to have success in confirming the sale and seeking a deficiency.

As a result of my experience in this area my reports are well documented, supported and conducted using accepted appraisal standards. My reports include much more content and detail than would be normal for an appraisal used in the typical mortgage lending process. My appraisals and reports are intended to hold up to the highest level of scrutiny and attack. You can have complete confidence that the appraisal and report will not be undermined in court.

When the report is submitted to you I am available to review the report with you and discuss any relevant details so you feel comfortable in its use. I will point out any number of ways the report may be challenged how the challenges would be defended so you are comfortable with its use.

If or when we appear in court I will be ready and able to defend my opinion. My knowledge of the Georgia Real Estate Appraiser Laws and the Uniform Standards of Professional Practice (USPAP) and my credentials assure this!

When it comes time to confirm the sale you should be comfortable in my ability to testify and easily withstand and cross examination. Over the years I have been certified as an Appraiser Expert Witness in 7 Counties in GA (Dekalb, Cobb, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Hall and Jackson).
