Questions
Do you appraise homes everywhere in Baker County?
Yes. I cover all of Baker County, including Macclenny, Glen St. Mary, Sanderson, Olustee and the rural areas in between.
How much does an appraisal cost?
It depends on the property type, size, location and why you need it. Call or send the address and I will quote the fee before anything is scheduled.
How long does an appraisal take?
The visit usually takes under an hour. The finished report typically follows within a few business days, depending on the property and the time of year. Ask when you call and I will give you a date.
Can I use this appraisal for my mortgage?
Mortgage appraisals are ordered by your lender, usually through an appraisal management company. If you are refinancing or buying, ask your lender. For PMI removal, check with your lender first, since many have their own process.
