Residential Valuation Appraisals
USPAP-compliant residential appraisals for homeowners, realtors, attorneys, lenders, and fiduciaries — inspected and signed by a certified appraiser, not an anonymous subcontractor.
Tell us what you’ve got.
Pick the closest match — it does not have to be exact, and “something else” is a real answer. Fixed fee from $450, written back the same day and always within one business day. Report delivered in 3–7 business days from the point we have complete information — and if that date is going to move you hear it from us first, not after it passes.
Real estate appraisal is a state-licensed activity. NextPhase holds Arizona certification, so real property assignments are limited to Arizona. If you need real property valued in another state, call anyway — we will point you to a qualified appraiser there.

What is the appraisal for?
Intended use sets the value standard, the report format, and the fee. The scope changes more than most people expect.

Common questions
Do you appraise real estate outside Arizona?
No. Real estate appraisal is a state-licensed activity and NextPhase holds Arizona certification. Personal property and business valuation carry no such restriction and are handled nationwide and internationally. If you need real property valued in another state, call anyway — we will point you to someone qualified there.
How is this different from a Zestimate or a realtor's CMA?
An automated estimate is a statistical guess with no inspection and no liability behind it. A CMA is a marketing opinion from someone holding a commission. An appraisal is an independent USPAP-compliant opinion from a licensed professional who inspected the property and can defend the conclusion under cross-examination.
Can you appraise as of a date in the past?
Yes. Retrospective appraisals are routine for estate and date-of-death work, divorce with a stipulated valuation date, insurance losses, and tax matters.
Do you handle manufactured and mobile homes?
Yes, including chattel and FEMA-related assignments — work many residential appraisers decline. FHA/HUD approved since 2006.

What the work actually looks like
Real assignments, client details removed — what each engagement actually turned on, rather than how it felt.
A house, a workshop of machine tools, a forty-year firearms collection and a stake in the family company — four disciplines that three appraisers had only partly covered. One engagement, one effective date, one set of assumptions.
A donation the regulations would have aggregated past the appraisal threshold, which the donor had assessed item by item. One qualified appraisal covering the group, itemized, signed inside the window the regulations allow.
An opposing report whose number was not obviously wrong — which is what made it dangerous. It failed on its own certification, and was answered section by section with an independent valuation to the correct definition of value.
