Sussex County Real Estate Appraisals

Stern & Dragoset Appraisal Group appraises homes, commercial and industrial property in all 24 Sussex County municipalities for divorce, estate, tax appeal and litigation.

Sussex County is known for lake communities such as Lake Mohawk in Sparta, rural property in Frankford and Wantage, and the Vernon ski and resort area. Lake rights, private communities and acreage can all affect value, and sales may be further apart.

Commercial and industrial assignments, including property in Newton and along Route 206, are led by our NJ State Certified General appraiser.
