Home appraisals in Jacksonville and Duval County
Jacksonville covers more ground than any city in the lower 48, and values change street by street. A 1920s bungalow in Riverside, a riverfront home in Ortega, a beach condo in Jax Beach and a new build off Pecan Park Road each sell on different terms.

Questions
Do you appraise homes everywhere in Duval County?
Yes. I cover all of Duval County, including Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach 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.
