Eagle Home Appraisal Grand Rapids
Home appraisals in Grand Rapids, Michigan
When a house in Kent County needs a number, for a family, a court or a tax filing, we help you get one you can stand behind.
Call and tell us the street, what the value is for and the date it needs to describe. For a VA loan, the published Kent County program fee is $650 for a single-family home (the VA’s fee, not our private price). For anything else, you will have our fee and a delivery estimate in writing before anything starts.
It usually starts with a house someone knows well.
A parent’s bungalow that now belongs to the children. A marriage ending and a house that has to be valued fairly. A tax bill, a filing date or a closing that will not wait. We help with the value, and your attorney or tax adviser decides what to do with it.
A home you inheritedA value for the family, the probate inventory or a buyout between heirs, and what the transfer does to the Michigan tax bill.
A home in a divorceMichigan courts divide a house by what is fair, not by a formula. We give you a clear value to start from.
A tax matterThe value on a date in the past, and how it differs from the number on the Grand Rapids tax bill.
Selling, refinancing or just knowingSingle-family homes, condos, and Heritage Hill houses with their own history.
What it is like to call
You give us the street address, what the value will be used for and the date it needs to describe. We tell you whether the timing is realistic, what the fee would be and what to gather. Nothing is booked until you say so.
If a deadline is close, say so on the first call. A short schedule changes the calendar, not the work.
Who calls us
Executors and heirs, divorcing spouses and their attorneys, accountants who need a value on a past date, and owners who want a number before they sell, refinance or appeal a tax value.
For a home outside the city, call and ask. Coverage depends on the address.
Grand Rapids is not one market
Heritage Hill alone holds about 1,300 historic properties in more than 60 styles, mostly built between the 1840s and 1920s (American Planning Association). A frame house in that district and a newer house in Kentwood do not share a number, and East Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Kentwood and Walker are separate cities with their own assessors.
In September 2026 the median sold price inside the city limits was $330,000 across 236 sold listings. See the figures and where they come from.
A few questions that come up.
What does it cost?
For VA loans the government publishes a program fee for Kent County: $650 for a single-family home, effective May 1, 2026 (VA fee table). That is the VA program fee, not our private price. For everything else we quote a fee in writing after you describe the property and the purpose.
Do you give legal or tax advice?
No. We value the house. Your attorney or tax adviser tells you which date, which report and what the number means for you.
