When you order an appraisal report from us, you can expect. . . .

• Prompt response to your initial inquiry: We will give you personalized information for your particular appraisal need. Just tell us your situation and we will make suggestions.

If you've chosen to receive a copy of your appraisal or consulting report via the Internet (EDI), you'll receive it within MINUTES of its completion.
• Appraisal and consulting reports formats to suit YOUR needs: When it comes to appraisal and consulting, "One size does NOT fit all!" We offer a variety of report types and delivery methods.

• Quick response to follow-up questions: We also believe that one of the keys to a successful outcome in any appraisal assignment is after-delivery communication. We are always available to answer any questions you may have concerning the finished appraisal product, and we always provide follow-up to ensure that we have met all customer expectations.

At Wolfe Appraisals, Inc., we understand that our customers need answers to specific questions. Therefore, we focus not only on providing answers, but also on working collaboratively with our clients to ask questions relevant to uncovering and reflecting our clients' information needs/expectations.

Depending on location, the forces that affect market value interact in uniquely different ways. The adage "location, location, location" is a ubiquitous and often overused real estate saying. However, it might be the most important factor in determining real propery value. Because location and an understanding of what market participants perceive to be relevant value factors in relation to location (demand, schools, economic viability, etc.) is so important in real property valuation, Wolfe Appraisals, Inc. has adopted the position that "less is more". Rather than overreaching our geographic authority and attempting to service areas in which we do not have the proper knowledge base, we have become proficient in servicing a select grouping of counties in the greater Birmingham area. By focusing on these particular counties, we are able to provide a greater level of service, including faster turnaround times and more accurate property valuations.

• Primary and secondary mortgages
• Refinance

We also offer appraisal products for numerous residential property types, including:

In the residential real estate market, change is inevitable. The market is fluid and constantly responding to social, governmental, environmental, and economic forces. Just as real estate markets reflect the attitudes and actions of market participants in response to these forces, the appraisal products provided by Wolfe Appraisals, Inc. reflect the needs and requisites of our diverse clientele.  We constantly strive to customize our products to the stated purpose established by our customers. After all, in real property valuation, one size does not fit all. We treat each assignment as unique and apply specialized skill sets and techniques to achieve satisfactory results for our customers. Wolfe Appraisals, Inc. has the necessary training and experience to fulfill the needs of a wide range of customers, including:

• Mortgage brokers
• Lenders/Correspondent lenders
• Selling professionals
• HUD
• USDA
• Individual property owners (FSBO, PMI removal)
• Attorneys
• Asset management/REO servicing companies

Values can shift when the economic factors that influence value shift (utility, scarcity, desire, effective purchasing power). No matter what the assignment type, purpose, or intended use,  our clients can always depend on us to utilize the latest tools, technology, and data sets to analyze and interpret the complex interaction of those factors that create and affect value. In doing so, we are able to achieve the ultimate goal of the valuation process: a well-supported, USPAP compliant, legally defensible value conclusion that reflects all pertinent factors that influence the market value of the property being appraised.
