    Why we start with a phone call

    People rarely come to an appraiser out of curiosity. There is a house, a date and someone waiting on a number. Each of those situations needs a different kind of report, and the differences are hard to see from the outside. A short call is the fastest way to sort out which one you need. We pick up Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

    Part of a group of independent fee appraisers

    Eagle Home Appraisal is a group of independent fee appraisers. Each report is prepared for a stated reader and purpose, with the sales, records and assumptions behind it shown. Who handles a particular assignment, and how access to the house is arranged, are settled on the call and in the written scope.

    Why Birmingham

    This is a city of hills, creeks and old streets. The same question, what is this house worth, has a different answer in a 1920s Red Mountain suburb than in a Highland Park bungalow or a rebuilt block in Pratt City after the April 27, 2011 tornado. Appraising here means knowing which of those you are looking at, and which county office holds the record. The service-area page shows how we think about it.

    What we don't do

    We do not give legal or tax advice, inspect a house for repairs, or promise that a court, the IRS or a lender will accept a report. We will tell you what the report is and is not, and we ask whoever is relying on it what they expect.
