Dave Lister / Madison & Park Appraisal is on the Court Approved Appraiser List in New York. That listing reflects eligibility for court-approved residential appraisal work in New York. It is one part of how we serve matrimonial, estate, and related matters.
Court-approved list: Used when a court or court process looks to an approved appraiser for valuation work under applicable court procedures.
Privately retained: Attorneys, executors, mediators, and private parties may engage us directly for divorce, date-of-death/estate, and probate appraisals — independent of any court appointment. This is the majority of our day-to-day practice.
Both paths produce USPAP-compliant reports. The engagement letter clarifies who retains us, the effective date, and the intended use.

If your matter requires a specific appointment category, confirm the governing list with counsel. We accurately describe our status as a Court Approved Appraiser in New York and welcome questions about engagement options.
