Thinking about selling, transferring a home or buying out a family member? Call to discuss the value you need.
Every appraiser we send is licensed or certified in New Jersey.
A report for the decision in front of you.
You may want an independent value before agreeing to a price or making plans for the home. Tell us what you are considering and who will use the report. If a lender or another organization has asked for it, check its ordering instructions first so you do not pay for a report it cannot accept.
What is different about this home?
Tell us where the home is and what we should know about it, including the lot and any other buildings. Mention additions, renovations, acreage, garages, outbuildings or a use that differs from nearby homes. Say whether any information in the tax record needs checking.
For an older home, a short repair history and photographs can help explain condition. Distinguish completed work from plans or estimates for future work.
A private report and a lender order.
If you need a value for your own decision, explain that purpose and the date. If a bank or mortgage servicer needs the appraisal, ask it how the report must be ordered and which appraisers it can accept before engaging someone yourself.
For an estate or divorce, follow the estate or divorce guide and bring your adviser's instructions.
Start local property research with the parcel.
The Cumberland County Board of Taxation links to municipal assessors and ownership or deed-sales research. Find the municipality, block and lot on the deed or tax record. A mailing address may use a different place name.
Our Cumberland County property guide offers local starting points. The purpose of collecting records is to describe this home accurately, including how it differs from the homes that might be compared with it.
If your concern is the tax assessment.
Tell the appraiser that the intended use involves a property-tax question before ordering. Confirm the relevant valuation date, evidence requirements and current deadline with the Board of Taxation or your attorney. A general current-value report should not be assumed to fit an assessment appeal.
Include access arrangements and your deadline, then confirm the scope, fee and estimated delivery.
A few questions that come up.
How much will the residential appraisal cost?
The fee depends on the home and the work your report needs. Share the address, purpose and deadline so we can discuss a quote and an estimated delivery date. For reference, the VA's fee for a single-family VA-loan appraisal in New Jersey is $650 (table effective May 1, 2026; Cumberland County has no line of its own). That fee covers VA loans only and does not set the price of a private report.
Is a tax assessment the same as an appraisal?
The assessment record and an appraisal may serve different purposes and refer to different dates. Explain the decision you need to make and confirm the documentation required by its recipient.
Should I make repairs before an appraisal?
Explain the report's intended use and required date before deciding what to change. Make records of the existing condition available, along with details of repairs already completed.
Can I use the report for a sale and a loan?
Disclose both intended uses first. A lender may have its own ordering and acceptance requirements, so check with it before relying on a privately ordered report.
