Cape May County Real Estate Appraisals
Stern & Dragoset Appraisal Group appraises homes, commercial and industrial property in all 16 Cape May County municipalities for divorce, estate, tax appeal and litigation.
Much of Cape May County is shore property, from Ocean City and Sea Isle City to Avalon, Stone Harbor, the Wildwoods and Cape May. Beach blocks, bayfront homes, condos and year-round mainland homes in Middle and Upper townships sell in different markets, and flood zone and elevation can affect value.
Second homes are common here, so estate assignments often involve heirs who live elsewhere. We can work with them by phone and email. Commercial and industrial assignments are led by our NJ State Certified General appraiser.

Common questions
Can you appraise a Cape May County shore home if the heirs live out of state?
Yes. We work by phone and email, and the report is delivered as a PDF. We just need access to the property for the inspection.
Where do Cape May County tax appeals go?
To the Cape May County Board of Taxation in Cape May Court House, or in some cases the NJ Tax Court. Most appeals are due April 1 (May 1 in revaluation towns), so call early.
