Fast, High Quality Appraisals and an Exceptional Borrower Experience

At Theodore Harmand Appraisals, we understand the critical role accurate and reliable property valuations play in the mortgage lending process. Serving Santa Barbara County, CA, our team of experienced and licensed appraisers is dedicated to providing comprehensive appraisal services tailored to meet the specific needs of mortgage lenders. Our goal is to facilitate smooth, efficient lending transactions by delivering high-quality appraisal reports that you can trust.

Our Services Include:

  • Pre-Loan Appraisals: We offer thorough property evaluations to assist lenders in determining the appropriate loan amount for borrowers. Our appraisals are designed to provide a detailed understanding of the property's market value, ensuring lenders can make informed decisions with confidence.

  • Refinancing Appraisals: As the real estate market fluctuates, refinancing becomes a vital tool for homeowners seeking better mortgage terms. Our appraisers specialize in assessing current property values, enabling lenders to offer refinancing options based on the most up-to-date information.

  • Construction Loan Appraisals: For projects requiring construction loans, we provide detailed appraisals that consider the planned improvements, materials, and the end value of the property. These appraisals are crucial for lenders to establish loan-to-value ratios and to release funds according to construction milestones.

  • Foreclosure and REO Appraisals: In foreclosure scenarios, accurate property valuations are paramount. Our appraisers deliver precise, market-relevant valuations of REO properties, aiding lenders in determining selling prices that maximize recovery while ensuring a fair, competitive market value.

  • PMI Removal Appraisals: We conduct appraisals for homeowners seeking to remove Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). By accurately assessing the current value of the property, we help lenders decide if the homeowner has reached the equity threshold required for PMI removal.
