Our Appraisers Service Pledge
We at Pinellas Appraisers, take pride in our pledge to provide appraisal service that is based on the finest research, and preparation of the report, delivered in a timely manner. In order to provide a highly documented and researched Appraisal, we understand that it is critical to find comparables that have physical and locational attributes that are as highly similar to the subject property as possible. In order to make this possible, we have decided to only serve clients in the Pinellas County Florida Area.
We can cite many examples of cases where an appraiser came from a distant place to do an appraisal. Do you think He/She can be sufficiently attuned to the market conditions and specifics of the subject neighborhood and be able to testify as an expert witness? Not Possible…..!
We only prepare appraisals for residential properties including single family, condominium, land and small multi family dwellings. We believe that you will find that we are the best appraisers in our market area.
Our Areas of Service
In addition to our work serving the Legal Field, we also provide service to Accountants, Banks, Individuals, Realtors and other Companies.
We provide appraisals for numerous uses including:
Divorce
Bankruptcy
REO (Real Estate Owned Bank Properties)
Foreclosure
Mortgage
Estate
Probate
Listing Value
Property Tax Dispute
Liquidation
Legal Dispute
Current Fair Market Value for a Variety of Purposes
One of the primary areas of practice for Marten W. Davis, SRPA is providing Appraisers Expert Testimony in Local Courts, District Courts and Federal Courts. These Appraisers Expert Testimony cases cover a wide spectrum of appraisal uses. All our appraisals for Attorneys are prepared in expectation of a requirment to testify on our findings. It is never a good idea to get to court and find out that the appraisal report has major flaws and will not be well received by the Judge or Court. The opposing attorney will be the only one that likes your report. He will attack your report upon finding the flaws.
Another of our primary areas of practice is preparing appraisal reports for FHA Transactions. It is difficult to obtain FHA Certification and maintain a good relationship with FHA. Marten W. Davis, SRPA is certified by FHA and well thought of for his quality of reports.
We ask you to allow us to serve you in a professional capacity as Appraisers!

We choose to only serve a limited number of select clients, so that we can provide this type service. We are always available to our clients. We work on the “Golden Rule” premise.

Question by Double R: What does “assesed value” on my property taxes mean?
I am looking at my property taxes statement and it shows how they calculate my taxes. It has my Market Value at $ 876k, and my assesed value at $ 161k. What is “assesed value”? My property is worth much less than the $ 876k they say but $ 161 would not even make sense. My property was appraised at $ 460k. Someone please help me understand this. I live in NY if it helps.
Best answer:
Answer by hrblockerrolquinn Dear DR: There is a great article at www.mkemortgage.net on NY assessed value vs market value.
Basically the assessed value is a number put on your property for tax purposes only. It is relative and should be fairly distributed among the neighborhoods.
