Austin Home Appraisal Group

Bad experience, can’t recommend.
I received a Market Analysis in response to a home appraisal request. The analysis I received was flippant, sloppy and not detailed.
The owner Rob Smith had a bad attitude.
I checked his license status and found out that he had his license revoked in 2014, so his Market Analysis of my home was done fraudulently. Authorities have been informed.

Very responsive, I got an appointment quickly and had the report super-​fast. Rob is charming and friendly.
The report was thorough and a pleasant surprise. I would feel comfortable recommending him to anyone.

The company was convenient to book and appraised my property promptly. They took the time to answer a couple of questions I had.
I would highly recommend.

I reached out to three appraisal companies for a small appraisal job. REAA managed my appraisal promptly and professionally, but the other two companies (although responsive and polite) declined to take my business.

I just wanted to update my original review and compliment these guys on their customer service. When I originally requested the appraisal I was unaware it needed to be back-​dated to a date of death for tax purposes. When I was informed of the is by my CPA I already had the report completed. I contacted real estate Appraisals Austin to see how much it would cost to update the report. The appraiser said he could do it for free since the dates were close enough to not affect the value. Dale promptly sent me the updated report which I forwarded to my accountant. Very happy that this was taken care of so quickly.

Because the appraisal values are not keeping up with the increased home prices, I called Real Estate Appraisals Austin for an appraisal before our option period ended so that we would have a clear idea of what the lender’s appraisal would read. The appraiser knew of our «need for speed» and quickly performed the appraisal. The appraisal was spot on, and I’ll use them again. Great service.

I paid for two professional appraisals of the value of my house. The two differed by less than 0.1 percent. Real Estate Appraisals Austin responded quickly and delivered the appraisal the following day. Fast, efficient, and accurate. What more is there.

We contacted Rob to give us an appraisal of our home that we needed fairly quickly. He was able to fit us in his schedule for a Saturday and was super friendly and attentive when he arrived. He had our entire report completed within 24 hours. I highly recommend Real Estate Appraisals Austin!

Highly Professional & Quality Service — Rob provided an Accurate Appraisal within 48 hours for my sellers upon me reaching out to him. I highly recommend his services here in Austin plus the surrounding areas. If you need a GREAT Appraiser, look no further!!!

After filling in the form online, we were contacted that day and set up the appraisal for the following day. Robert was very prompt, friendly, professional and thorough. He gave us an idea of what would be included in the appraisal. In two days we had the appraisal and we were very happy with the results. I highly recommend this company.

Maybe I’m a little bit paranoid, but I’ve never been really comfortable with real estate transactions, especially when I’m the buyer. I don’t feel like anybody’s really looking out for me. It seems like the goal of everyone involved from the seller to all the realtors, lender appraisers, and mortgage brokers is getting the property sold as their first priority so they can all get paid.
I’m not hoping that the lender’s appraiser is going to come up with a value that’s equal or very close to our selling price. What I want is to know that the price I’ve agreed to is the true market value of the house and frankly you should too if you’re looking to buy a home. Imagine being transferred or having a huge change in your life two or three years after you buy the house and later finding out that you paid way too much and now you’re either going to get nothing back or actually be upside down on your mortgage. It happens.
That’s the position I found myself in this week. I’m about to close on a home and was getting a sneaky suspicion that my sales price was well above the real value of the house. Of course the lenders appraisal came in miraculously within a few hundred dollars of our sale price. Sound familiar?
I decided that the smartest thing I could do would be to find an appraiser with no skin in the game on this deal who would do a thorough and intelligent evaluation of the property and give me a realistic value not based on the sales price in fact not even knowing the sales price– just the listing price. Chandler from Real Estate Appraisers Austin, had the best reputation I could find using Unilocal and other rating sources. They did not disappoint. Chandler walked me through the process before the appraisal and answered many of the questions I had. The actual appraisal was clear and concise and it was easy to see why and how he came to his conclusions. Clearly, he was working for me.
Their fees for the work they do are extremely reasonable and competitive. Their website is easy to use and their response time and patience to take the time to explain are great. In the end, their appraisal was just a bit higher than the lender’s in my case and I saw and understood why. For the first time in two weeks I think I am going to finally get a good night sleep.
I just can’t see why anyone wouldn’t want to drop a few extra bucks on an appraisal by someone who is going to be on your side. It sure gave me peace of mind.

Chandler Smith is very professional and knowledgeable — he responded to my initial voice message promptly and responds to email quickly! He was also very timely in providing the appraisal and answering a couple of questions I had about the appraisal. I would recommend him with no reservations. Thanks!!!

Chandler was great! He was quick, efficient and he did a very detailed report. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an appraisal.

I needed an appraisal for probate. I don’t live in town, so I very much appreciated Chandler being flexible with my schedule, even when I had to change it at the last minute and it was Christmas week. He arrived on time, performed the appraisal quickly, and got the report back to us exactly when he said he would.

They were recommended to me by a friend and I must say that I would recommend them too. I called and got the appointment made, got the house appraised in the agreed up time frame. Next day, I received the paperwork and I was very happy with the service. I will use them again if I needed to.

I was very pleased with this company. I put in my request on line and they scheduled my appraisal, reviewed the property and provided the appraisal document within about a week. Prompt, courteous and professional!

I called this company to schedule an appraisal for my home. The appraiser was very responsive and completed the appraisal in a professional manner and in the time frame that was advertised. I would definitely recommend using this company if you find the need for an honest and timely appraisal.

I was referred to Chandler Smith and was pleasantly surprised. He was very professional and knowledgeable. My property is challenging because of the size but it wasn’t a problem for him. I will definitely refer him to others.

We needed an appraisal done on our house in preparation to sell it FSBO. I had negative experiences with a number of other Appraisers and Real Estate companies who said they would do an appraisal for us, but ended up flaking on us in the end.
Chandler was a breath of fresh air. Despite a two-​three day game of phone tag, Chandler persisted in returning my calls, which paid off. We set an appointment for two days later. Chandler was punctual, prompt, professional and knowledgeable, and had the report to us within one business day as promised. I would recommend his services to anyone seeking help with a real estate appraisal.
