West Appraisal specializes in residential valuation products specific to Jacksonville and Northeast Florida.
State Licensed and FHA approved, I have the education and qualifications to provide the type of reliable home values that banks and major lending institutions require for home loans. And with twenty-five years of experience behind me, I’m prepared to handle a variety of property types/assignments.
In addition to mortgage appraisals, my services are also available for:
Removing PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance)
Tax Assessments (reducing your property taxes)
Setting a home’s sales price
Legal matters such as divorce settlements
Estate planning
Employee relocations
My investment in technology means faster turn times for you and lower costs for everybody. I take pride in providing personalized customer service whether I’m on the phone, sending e-mail or communicating through this website which you can use 24/7 for placing orders, checking status or downloading completed reports.
Thanks for taking time to visit West Appraisal. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.
