Appraisals for Individuals A.L. Wagner Appraisal Group is pleased to accept appraisal
requests from individuals – we call these “Private Appraisals.”
Appraisals from our established lending and relocation clients who send
us repeat business, we call “Corporate Appraisals.” There can be many reasons for a "private" real estate appraisal. A few might include:
We have experience in all of these types of appraisals. Please click on any of the above for more information. The most common “house appraisal” is for mortgage lending
- either purchases, refinances or homequity loans. Federal regulations
require that the lending institution place the order with the appraisal
firm. Even though a consumer may write a check at the door for the appraisal
service, the intended use is for lending purposes and the intended user
is the financial institution who will make the loan. Our firm has conducted
appraisals for many of the major banks and lending institutions in our
area through the years, but we may not be on everybody’s current list as clients maintain lists of preferred appraisers. Sometimes their preferred appraiser is picked based on the fastest and cheapest, which would often be less credentialed and less experienced appraisers. Therefore, the consumer does not typically have a choice
as to what appraisal company will complete the lending appraisal. Please ask
your lender if A.L. Wagner Appraisal Group is on their approval list. Please contact us during business hours at (630) 416-6556 for a free
consultation. |
