The VA's fee for a single-family home in Nevada is $750 (va.gov fee table, effective May 1, 2026). That is the fee the VA sets for its own loans, not our price. A private appraisal can cost more or less depending on the property, intended use and deadline. Call (775) 571-7959 or ask for a written quote.

Delivery timing depends on availability, access, property complexity and the research and reporting required. Share your deadline and confirm a delivery estimate for your assignment before relying on it.

If a hearing, inventory deadline or closing is close, say so when you call; see rush appraisals.

Your attorney should confirm the property's treatment and whether a formal appraisal would support the value needed for your matter.

Two Nevada rules often come up: the probate inventory is due within 120 days after letters issue (NRS 144.010), and a court-confirmed private sale generally needs an appraisal made within the year before the sale (NRS 148.260). Nye County probate cases are heard by the Fifth Judicial District Court. More on probate appraisals and estate appraisals.

Confirm with your attorney the valuation date and intended use. Agree who is engaging the appraiser, who will receive the report and who may rely on it. An appraisal develops an opinion of property value; it does not decide either spouse's legal share or the terms of a buyout.

Nevada's community-property rule (NRS 125.150) is the court's to apply; the appraisal only supplies the home's value. See divorce appraisals.

Discuss any testimony, deposition or additional support separately with the appraiser and your attorney before proceeding. Availability and the scope of that work must be confirmed for your matter.

A retrospective appraisal develops a value for a past effective date. Your tax adviser should identify the applicable date and use; the appraiser and intended users agree the reporting scope before work begins.

A CMA is a broker's pricing opinion; an appraisal is an independent opinion of value developed by a state-credentialed appraiser following USPAP for an agreed purpose and effective date. Confirm with the intended recipient what documentation the matter needs.

Inspection work depends on the agreed scope and may include measurements, photographs and observations of condition and features. Ask what access and preparation your assignment needs.
