Moore Appraisal Firm was founded by Jack B. Moore in Helena, MT in 1965, making it one of the first established appraisal companies in the state. What began as a single office built on Jack’s reputation for integrity and precision has grown into something far greater — a true family legacy. Over the decades, two sons, a daughter, and a grandson have each joined the firm, carrying the Moore name forward while expanding its reach across Montana. Today, with offices in Helena, Missoula, Bozeman, and Billings, Moore Appraisal Firm offers the broadest coverage of any appraisal firm in the state and backed by six decades of trust that only a family-built business can offer.
A residential appraisal is more than a formality, it is the foundation of a sound real estate transaction. Moore Appraisal Firm’s certified appraisers conduct a thorough evaluation of your property’s condition, size, and features, measuring them against recent comparable sales in your market. The result is a credible, defensible opinion of value that our clients can rely on with confidence.
Commercial
Commercial property comes in many forms, and understanding its value requires experience, flexibility, and a deep knowledge of the local market. Our certified appraisers bring all three to every assignment. From retail and office space to warehouses, hospitality properties, and investment portfolios, Moore Appraisal Firm delivers comprehensive commercial valuations grounded in sound methodology and decades of Montana market knowledge giving our clients the confidence to move forward.
Complex Properties
Some properties simply do not fit the mold, and appraising them requires a different level of experience and methodology. Moore Appraisal Firm’s certified appraisers are well versed in handling properties that present unique physical, legal, or market challenges. Whether the assignment involves unusual architecture, specialized use, historic significance, or limited comparable sales data, we apply the appropriate analytical tools and cast as wide a net as necessary to deliver a credible, well-supported opinion of value. When the stakes are high and the property is anything but ordinary, experience matters.
Farm & Ranch
Montana’s farms and ranches represent far more than land — they are working businesses, family legacies, and long-term investments. Appraising them accurately takes specialized knowledge that Moore Appraisal Firm has been building for generations. From soil and water rights to grazing leases and income potential, we evaluate every factor that drives agricultural value and deliver a report our clients can count on.
Market Evaluations
Moore Appraisal Firm is excited to introduce Market Evaluations, a new service made possible by recent Montana legislation passed in 2025. This law now allows licensed appraisers to provide market evaluations and we’re proud to be among the firms offering this option to the communities we serve.
Valuation Consulting
Sometimes you need more than a standard appraisal or market evaluation, you need expert guidance to help navigate a complex property question. Moore Appraisal Firm offers Valuation Consulting services for clients who are facing unique situations that require professional insight and analysis beyond a traditional report.
