BANKRUPTCY APPRAISALS

At James Dougherty Appraisers we specialize in doing appraisal work for bankruptcy proceedings.  For a chapter 13 bankruptcy case, it is paramount to accurately establish value on any of the real estate assets.  Between irresponsible lending practices and the current poor housing market, home owners are often in an under-water position.  With our help, you can make a valid determination in regard to the possibility of stripping away any under-water junior liens.
