"Stickelman, Schneider & Associates is very proud of its ongoing five-year relationship with Fifth Third Bank. During the last three years, our specialists have provided close to 15,000 appraisals."
Through technology, vision, and experience, Stickelman, Schneider is able to produce accurate appraisals in a fraction of the time that lenders expect.

An appraisal, or valuation, is a professional opinion of market value of a given property. Since no two properties are identical, a real estate appraiser assigns value utilizing different approaches.

Property owners should order an appraisal to accomplish the following:

• Sale or purchase of real estate (what is the property worth on the open market)
• Financing or refinancing of real estate (what will the lender be able to recover)
• Financing new constructaion (what will it be worth when completed)
• Taxes - how do I know what the county values my property at (what is market and assessed value of the land and building)
• Tax Free Exchange (section 1031) (what is the replacement value)
• Business Property (what is the property worth to the company)
• Eminent Domain - this is one of the four powers of goverment over real estate (how much should I be compensated)
• Easements (what is the right of way)
