Mortgage appraisals
Want us for your loan appraisal?
We do appraisals for lenders too. Because of federal appraiser independence rules, the appraisal for a mortgage is ordered by your lender, usually through an appraisal management company (AMC), not by you. Here's how to request us:
- Tell your loan officerAsk for Reinam Appraisal by name. Lenders and AMCs can add an appraiser to their approved panel.
- Send us your lender's detailsWith your permission, we'll contact your lender or their AMC and ask to be added, and send our license and insurance.
- Your lender ordersIf we're approved, the lender or AMC assigns the appraisal to us and sets the fee. You pay through your loan, not on this site.
Not for a mortgage? Divorce, estate, tax appeal, pre-listing and private-lender appraisals can be ordered here directly. Get an instant quote
Good to know
Why can't I order it myself?
Federal rules (Appraiser Independence Requirements) keep borrowers and loan officers from choosing and paying the appraiser directly, so the value stays independent.
Can I use an appraisal I ordered myself for my loan?
Usually not. Most lenders, FHA and VA only accept appraisals they ordered. Ask your lender before ordering anything.
Private or hard-money loan?
Business-purpose private and hard-money loans are different: you can order those directly with an instant quote.
