Short answers. For your house, call 910-900-5100.
A few questions that come up.
How much does an appraisal cost in Fayetteville?
For a VA loan, the VA program fee for Cumberland County is $800 for a single-family home, effective May 1, 2026 (VA fee table). That is the program fee, not our private price. For other purposes we quote in writing.
How long does it take?
It depends on the calendar, access to the house and how much research the assignment needs. The VA’s timeliness standard for Cumberland County is nine business days, for VA assignments. Tell us your deadline and we will say whether it is realistic.
Does a Fayetteville estate need an appraisal of the house?
Not by statute. North Carolina makes an appraiser optional, but requires the inventory within three months of qualifying (G.S. 28A-20-1 and 28A-20-4). Ask the estate’s attorney.
Which date is used in a North Carolina divorce?
The marital home takes its value from the date of separation, and divisible property from the date of distribution (G.S. 50-21(b)). Ask your attorney how many values you need.
Is the county tax value the same as an appraisal?
No. Cumberland County values are set as of January 1, 2025 for tax purposes. An appeal appraisal looks back to that date.
Do you appraise homes in Hope Mills, Spring Lake or outside the city?
Call and ask. Coverage depends on the address, and we would rather tell you on the phone than let you find out later.
What about an older home in Haymount or downtown?
The Haymount District and the Fayetteville Downtown Historic District are on the National Register of Historic Places. Age, renovations and lot size make good comparisons harder to find, so gather any records of additions or repairs before we start.
Do you appraise manufactured homes, condominiums and small apartment buildings?
Yes: single-family houses, townhomes, condominium units, manufactured homes on permanent foundations, and two-to-four-unit homes.
Who gets the report?
The report names its intended users, so tell us who will rely on it: you, an attorney, an accountant, a lender or the family. A divorce can be joint, with both spouses named.
Do you give legal or tax advice?
No. We value the house. Your attorney or tax adviser decides what the number means.
Can I email instead of calling?
Yes. Use the contact page. A call is faster when a date is close.
