What can move the fee up or down?
A straightforward single-family home is a different assignment from a Newark two-family with rental units, a complex renovation or a report looking back several years. Agree on the property, the dates and the work before comparing prices.
The home
Size, unit count, unusual layouts and mixed-use features can change the inspection and research.
The date being valued
A current value and a value as of separation or another earlier date are different requests. More than one valuation date may mean more work.
The available records
Rental information, plans, permits and renovation records can help explain the property and its condition at the relevant date.
Your deadline
Give us any mediation or court date early. Confirm availability and whether a tighter deadline affects the fee.
Work beyond the report
Ask whether follow-up analysis, a deposition or court testimony would be charged separately. A report fee does not automatically include those services.

You do not need every document in hand to make the first call. Have these starting details ready:
- The Newark address and number of units
- The date or dates you need valued
- Your deadline and access arrangements
- Any instructions from your attorney, including possible testimony
The written quote should identify the report, its intended use, the total fee and expected delivery. Confirm what is included and what could cost extra before work begins.
