Before you hire

Hiring appraisers in Detroit: what to know first

Know why you need the value

The purpose (estate, divorce, tax appeal, selling) and the effective date decide what kind of report you need, so say both when you request quotes.

Lender appraisals are ordered by the lender

For a purchase or refinance loan, your lender orders the appraisal. An appraisal you hire yourself is for your own decisions, court or tax use, not the loan.

How we check credentials →

Check the license level

Michigan licenses appraisers at four levels with different scopes. Match the level to your property and confirm it on the LARA lookup.

How to compare appraisers in Metro Detroit

Use this page to find appraisers for valuations you order yourself: estates, divorce, pre-listing, property tax appeals, rentals, land and commercial property. Tell appraisers the purpose, property type and date of value you need, then compare license level, local experience, report type and turnaround. If your question is about a mortgage, see refinance appraisals first.

Define the assignment before requesting quotes

An appraiser needs the intended use (probate, divorce, tax appeal, sale planning), the effective date (today, a date of death or a tax day), the property type, and whether you need a full written report or court testimony. Clear answers produce comparable quotes.

Michigan licensing and standards

LARA licenses appraisers as limited (works under a certified appraiser), state licensed, certified residential (one to four family homes) and certified general (all property types). Michigan law requires appraisals to be written, conform to USPAP, and show the appraiser's license number and level.

What to compare

Compare license level, experience with your property type and neighborhood, report format, turnaround, and whether the fee covers testimony or a revision. Read How We Vet to see what our dated checks cover.

Working across Metro Detroit

Values shift block by block across six counties, and Detroit neighborhoods can have few recent comparable sales. Your assessment comes from the city or township where the property sits, which is not always the mailing city. Browse by Wayne, Oakland or Macomb County.

Common questions

Appraisers in Detroit: FAQ

No. For a purchase or refinance loan the lender, or an appraisal management company acting for it, selects and pays the appraiser under appraiser independence rules. You can still hire an appraiser for your own planning, but the lender will not use that report for its loan decision.
Start with the purpose: estate, divorce, pre-listing, tax appeal, rental or land. Then choose an appraiser who works that property type in your part of Metro Detroit, verify the license level on LARA, and confirm the report type, effective date and delivery date before you hire. The appraiser works for you and states the intended use in the report.
Search the name on the LARA license lookup and confirm the level: limited, state licensed, certified residential or certified general. Certified appraisers also appear on the federal ASC National Registry.
No. An appraisal is an opinion of value. A home inspection reports on condition and defects. Many sellers and buyers get both.
The fee depends on property type and size, the report type, a past effective date, complexity such as few comparable sales or mixed use, rush turnaround, and any deposition or court testimony. Ask for the fee and delivery date in the engagement letter.
No. Rebuild Detroit routes your request to independent appraisers you choose to contact. It does not order lender appraisals or influence appraised values.
