RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE APPRAISERS IN BROOKLYN, NY
Brooklyn appraisals require more than comps; they demand context: rezoning, rent law, and gentrification trends all affect value. Brooklyn’s market is fast-moving, patchwork, and highly scrutinized, especially in gentrifying or high-density areas.
East Coast Appraisal Service delivers certified residential and commercial appraisals tailored to every corner of the borough, from brownstones in Fort Greene to warehouses in East Williamsburg, serving individual homeowners, local businesses, legal professionals, and institutional clients. As Certified Fiduciaries of the Office of Court Administration (OCAS) and regularly appointed NYS Supreme Court Part 36 Fiduciaries, our reports are trusted in litigation, accepted by major banks, and built to hold up under intense scrutiny.
Whether you're working with an attorney, appealing your property taxes, or settling a family estate, we ensure your valuation is accurate, on time, and court-accepted.

Determine Exact Property Value
If you are thinking about purchasing or selling real estate, you should work closely with a real estate appraiser. A real estate appraiser can help you know the exact value of the property and determine what price to list your property at or how much to offer when purchasing real estate property.
At East Coast Appraisal Service, our residential real estate appraisers are proud to help those in and around Brooklyn, NY. Read on to learn how we can help you.
Appraisal for Purchasing a Home
If you are buying a new home, you need to know that you are making the best offer for the home you are buying. You do not want to make an offer that is too high and lose money on your purchase. At the same time, you don’t want to offer too low of an offer and risk losing your dream home. A real estate appraiser can tell you exactly how much the home is worth so that you know how to proceed.
