Services

Four ways we put a well-supported number on your property

Green Street Appraisal Services focuses exclusively on residential appraisal work and construction draw inspections.

Residential Appraisals

An online estimate can’t see your kitchen, your lot, or your street. A licensed appraisal can — for mortgage lending, pre-listing and private-sale decisions, or a tax appeal.

Construction Draw Inspections

Lenders need to know the work has actually been done before the next draw is released. We document progress on site, on the lender’s required form, on schedule.

Divorce Appraisals

When a home must be divided, both sides need a number they can trust. We provide impartial valuations — never advocacy for either spouse.

Learn more →

Estate, Probate & Tax

Settling an estate or challenging an assessment often requires the property’s value on a specific past date. That’s exactly what a retrospective appraisal does.

Online estimates and automated valuation models can be useful starting points, and each tool has appropriate uses. This comparison describes typical differences — it is not a claim that any method is universally accepted or legally required. Whether a licensed appraisal is needed depends on your situation and the requirements of the parties involved.

How It Works

Three steps to a well-supported value

1

Request a quote

Name, phone, email, and the property address — that’s the whole required form, plus two optional fields if you have them handy. Under a minute, no obligation, no fee. Anything else we need, we’ll ask in the reply.

2

Confirm scope & schedule

We review the assignment to confirm competency, scope, service area, and availability, then send your fee and scope by email — generally the same day. A brief phone consultation is available when it helps clarify things.

3

Inspection, then report

Once you accept, you receive an engagement agreement — signable electronically — and we schedule the inspection. Most residential inspections take 30–90 minutes, and the report is typically delivered within about three to five business days of the inspection and receipt of all necessary information. Expedited service is available for an additional fee.

Appraisal, Explained

What a residential appraisal report actually contains

In plain language, so you know what you’re paying for before you commit. Exact contents depend on the assignment, the intended use, and the reporting requirements of the intended user.

Property information

Identification of the property appraised, its physical characteristics, site details, and the ownership and legal information relevant to the assignment.

Photographs

Interior and exterior photographs documenting the property’s condition and improvements as of the inspection date, as required by the scope of work.

Neighborhood & market analysis

An analysis of the surrounding market — supply, demand, and price trends — that the value conclusion has to be consistent with.

Comparable sales analysis

Selection of the sales most similar to the subject property, with the reasoning for why they were chosen.

Adjustments

Documented adjustments to the comparable sales for meaningful differences in condition, size, location, and features.

Reconciliation & opinion of value

The reasoning that weighs the evidence and arrives at a supported opinion of value, as of a stated effective date and for a stated intended use.

An appraisal is an opinion of value developed for a specific intended use and intended user. It is not a guarantee of sale price, loan approval, or assessment outcome, and it is not legal, tax, lending, or investment advice.

Common Questions

Answers before you ask

How much does an appraisal cost?
Every quote is customized, because the fee depends on the property type, location, size, and complexity, the intended use, the required scope of work, the availability of market data, travel distance, reporting requirements, and your requested completion date. Tell us about the assignment and you’ll get an individualized quote — free, no obligation, and generally the same day. Complex assignments may require additional research before a fee can be quoted.
Does a same-day quote mean the appraisal is completed the same day?
No — and it’s an important difference. Same-day applies to your quote: the fee and scope for your assignment. The inspection and report follow after the assignment is accepted. A typical residential appraisal report is delivered within about three to five business days of the inspection and receipt of all necessary information.
What areas do you serve?
Tennessee (primary market): Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford, Wilson, Robertson, Cannon, Cheatham, DeKalb, Dickson, Hickman, Macon, Maury, Montgomery, Smith, Sumner, and Trousdale counties. Kentucky (secondary service area): Warren, Allen, Simpson, and Logan counties. Standard coverage runs to roughly 75 miles from Nashville; properties outside the standard area may incur an additional travel fee, quoted in advance. See the full service area →
What is the difference between an appraisal and a Zestimate-style online estimate?
An online estimate is produced by an algorithm that has never seen your property. A licensed appraisal involves a human professional analyzing your specific property, its condition, its market, and the purpose the valuation must serve — documented in a written report.
Do you work with attorneys, lenders, and other professionals?
Yes. Green Street Appraisal Services works with banks and credit unions, mortgage professionals, construction lenders, attorneys, Realtors, builders, and fiduciaries — including retrospective effective dates and assignment-specific reporting requirements. Institutional clients can use the professional inquiry path for appraisal-panel consideration, recurring assignments, and vendor onboarding.
Do you perform construction draw inspections?
Yes. Construction draw inspections document the progress of work on site so a lender can decide whether to release the next draw. They are completed on the lender’s required inspection form and keyed to the draw number. Inspection time varies with the project’s size and complexity, and draw reports are generally delivered within 48 hours of the site visit. More on draw inspections →
Do you appraise commercial property?
Not in-house — but yes, we can help. Shawn Green is a Certified Residential Real Property Appraiser, so commercial assignments are outside what he performs personally. Green Street Appraisal Services has commercial partnerships, and can assist with commercial appraisals through them. If you have a commercial property, get in touch and you’ll be connected with the right appraiser for it.
Can you appraise a property as of a past date?
Yes. That’s a retrospective appraisal — an opinion of value as of an earlier effective date, commonly needed for date-of-death valuations, divorce matters, and tax questions. We use market data from that time period to support the conclusion.

Need a clear starting point?

Your request is reviewed personally and you’ll receive a customized quote — free, and with no obligation.

Open seven days a week, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Central. Requests can be submitted through this website at any time.
