Tacoma Property Appraisals from a Certified, Independent Expert
Trusted Residential Valuations Serving Tacoma and Pierce County Since 1992
Tacoma is Pierce County’s largest city and the economic center of the South Sound region — a city where nearly every neighborhood has its own character, housing stock, and pricing story. From the craftsman bungalows of the Stadium District and North Slope to mid-century ranches in South Tacoma and newer construction near Point Ruston and the waterfront, property values here can vary dramatically from block to block. When something important is on the line — a divorce, an estate, a tax appeal, a home purchase, or a PMI removal — you need an appraiser who has worked this market long enough to know it well.
Atled Enterprises has provided independent residential appraisals throughout Tacoma and Pierce County since 1992. Kelly Kelsoe, a Washington State Certified Residential Appraiser, brings over 30 years of hands-on market knowledge to every assignment. Reports are prepared in full compliance with USPAP standards — clear, defensible, and ready for any legal, financial, or lending purpose.

Appraisal Review
If you’ve received an appraisal that doesn’t seem to reflect market reality, Atled Enterprises can conduct an independent review of the report — assessing methodology, comparable selection, and conclusions against current market data.
Tax Appeal Appraisals
Pierce County property assessments don’t always reflect actual market conditions. If your Tacoma property has been overassessed, an independent appraisal provides market evidence to support your appeal. Atled Enterprises has helped Tacoma homeowners document their case for reassessment with credible, data-supported reports.
Purchase Appraisals
Lenders require an independent appraisal to confirm that a purchase price reflects current market value. With Tacoma’s median home value now above $500,000, accurate valuation protects both buyers and lending institutions.
Refinance Appraisals
Tacoma homeowners refinancing their mortgages need an updated valuation that reflects current market conditions. Atled Enterprises provides lender-compliant refinance appraisals with typical one-week turnaround.
Divorce Appraisals
When real estate is part of a divorce settlement, both parties need a neutral, defensible valuation they can rely on. Atled Enterprises provides court-ready divorce appraisals that establish fair market value as of a defined effective date. Whether property division is being negotiated privately or litigated, a USPAP-compliant appraisal provides a clear foundation for equitable resolution.
Estate Appraisals
Settling an estate in Tacoma often means determining what a property was worth at a specific point in time, sometimes years in the past. Kelly Kelsoe has extensive experience with retrospective valuations for probate, trust administration, and estate tax purposes. Reports are prepared with the documentation level required by attorneys, CPAs, and courts.
PMI Removal Appraisals
If you’ve built equity in your Tacoma home through appreciation or improvements, a current appraisal may allow you to request the removal of private mortgage insurance. Connor Skylstad-Dragnich, a Tacoma-area homeowner, shared: “I purchased my home in May 2021 for $380,000. Kelly appraised my home’s value at $495,000 as of February 2025… I give Atled and Kelly 5 stars.“
Pre-Listing Appraisal Services
Tacoma’s real estate market has seen significant price appreciation and neighborhood-by-neighborhood variation. Before listing your home, particularly in areas with limited comparable sales, like the Stadium District, North Slope, or older South Tacoma neighborhoods, a professional appraisal helps you price with confidence rather than guesswork.

About Tacoma, Washington
Tacoma is the county seat of Pierce County and Washington State’s third-largest city, with a 2026 estimated population of approximately 232,000. Known locally as the “City of Destiny,” Tacoma was selected as the western terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad in the late 19th century and has grown into the economic and cultural hub of the South Sound region. The city’s housing stock reflects its long history: roughly 27% of homes were built before 1940, including many historic craftsman and Victorian-era properties concentrated in neighborhoods like the Stadium District and North Slope. Median home values have climbed significantly, reaching over $500,000 in recent years. Tacoma’s diverse neighborhoods — from the arts district near the Museum of Glass to the working waterfront at Ruston Way — create a wide range in property characteristics and valuation complexity.
