Led by SRA-designated Chief Appraiser Scott Loyer — a 20+ year veteran and Best of Lexington award winner — our South Carolina practice specializes in the assignments that require more than a standard appraisal: estate and date of death valuations, divorce and equitable distribution, litigation support, easement analysis, property disputes, and high-end luxury and waterfront properties.

LOCAL MARKET

Deep Local Knowledge Across the Midlands


The South Carolina Midlands presents a uniquely diverse appraisal landscape — from master-planned Lake Murray waterfront communities in Lexington County to historic properties in Columbia, rural acreage in Kershaw and Saluda, and the rapidly growing suburban corridors connecting them all. Accurate valuation here requires more than pulling comps. It requires understanding how lot position, water access, HOA structure, flood zones, and local market micro-trends affect value — often dramatically.


Scott Loyer has built his SC practice on exactly the kinds of assignments where that knowledge matters most: contested estates, divorce proceedings, easement disputes, and luxury properties where no two comps are identical. When the stakes are high and a standard appraisal won't do, Connect Appraisal is the call.
