Appraisal Services of Oregon is an independent residential appraisal practice serving Oregon and Washington, including the Columbia River Gorge. Every report is prepared by a state certified appraiser and delivered in compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
Appraisal Services of Oregon was built on a straightforward principle: a value opinion is only as useful as the independence and method behind it.
The practice has appraised more than 20,000 properties across 26 Oregon counties and into Washington, from single-family homes in the Portland metro to rural and acreage parcels in the Columbia River Gorge.
The credentials behind every report Appraisal Services of Oregon delivers.
Certified to appraise residential property in both Oregon and Washington, covering markets on either side of the Columbia River Gorge.
Licensed as a Principal Broker in Oregon, adding direct real estate market knowledge to every valuation analysis.
BPI certified, with training in building performance and construction quality that informs condition and complex-property assessments.
The practice carries no lender ownership and no stake in the transaction, so the value opinion reflects the property and the market, not the deal.
Each report follows the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, the framework lenders, courts, and the IRS recognize.
Coverage spans 26 Oregon counties and into Washington, including the Columbia River Gorge, where market data is thin and local insight matters most.
USPAP is the set of ethics and performance standards every state certified appraiser in the United States must follow.
USPAP requires the appraiser to remain free of bias or advocacy for any party, so the opinion of value serves the property, not a desired outcome.
Conclusions must be grounded in verifiable market evidence and documented analysis, not assumptions, which is what makes a report defensible.
The Competency Rule requires the appraiser to have the knowledge and experience for the specific property type and market before accepting the work.
Every report states the scope of work, the type and definition of value, and a signed certification of USPAP compliance.
Pre-listing values, PMI removal, and informed decisions about a home’s worth before selling, refinancing, or settling an estate.
Defensible valuations for divorce, litigation, and other matters where the figure may be examined in court.
Date-of-death and estate valuations prepared to a standard the IRS and probate courts accept.
Independent residential appraisals for transactions that require a third-party opinion of value.
Coverage runs across 26 Oregon counties and into Washington state, with a strategic focus on the Columbia River Gorge communities on both sides of the river. From the Portland metro to Eugene, rural Oregon, and Cascade Locks, the practice brings local market knowledge to property types other appraisers often pass on.
