What We Do
Specialized residential appraisals built for professionals who need reports that hold up.
Estate & Date-of-Death
Retrospective valuations for IRS Form 706, stepped-up basis, probate court, and estate settlement. We work directly with estate attorneys and executors.
Property Tax Appeals
Independent appraisals built to challenge county assessments before the Board of Equalization. Time-trended analysis that holds up under review.
Divorce & Legal
Independent, impartial valuations for divorce settlements, legal disputes, and equitable distribution. Expert testimony available when proceedings require it.
Lender & Mortgage
Conventional, FHA, and refinance appraisals for community banks, credit unions, and private lenders across Denver Metro and the Front Range.
Pre-Listing & Pre-Purchase
Know what a property is worth before you list or buy. An independent appraisal is more reliable than an automated valuation or an agent’s BPO.

Why VolkHaus
SRA Designation
The SRA (Senior Residential Appraiser) from the Appraisal Institute is the highest credential in residential valuation. It requires demonstrated experience, peer-reviewed work, and ongoing education.
Direct Relationship — No AMC
Attorneys and CPAs who’ve worked with AMC-assigned appraisers know the difference. You know who’s doing the work, you can ask questions, and the analysis reflects the depth that complex matters require.
Denver Market Expertise
We’ve been appraising this market since 2001. Cherry Hills Village and Commerce City, Park Hill and the mountain communities, Boulder’s high-end resale market — knowledge that’s earned, not approximated.
USPAP-Compliant Reports
Every appraisal meets or exceeds the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. Reports are prepared to withstand IRS scrutiny, court review, and lender requirements.
