We offer a wide range of valuation products, from single family and multi-family residential to multi-million dollar residential properties and multi-family housing complexes, vacant properties, review appraisals (including FHA/HUD) and employee relocation appraisal services. Generally, the purposes for these property appraisals include:

• Primary and Secondary Mortgages
• Mortgage Refinancing

The Townsend Firm has invested heavily in training and the latest state of the art technology. Our company uses digital cameras, scanners, maps and software which enable us to deliver all of our reports and addenda to you electronically. You no longer have to wait for delays such as mail delivery or photo processing. This investment, coupled with our online appraisal ordering, allows us to have short appraisal turn-around times and keeps our rates competitive with anybody in the Greater Orlando Florida area.

Homeowners, buyers and sellers must realize that they have a choice to pick their own appraisers. Many lenders have an in-house appraiser roster, sometimes pushing their favorite appraiser or staff appraiser to value homes. By utilizing our services you can rest assured that you will be getting a true estimate of your home's market value. You won't get an inflated number to reach sales price, nor a conservative value that would force you into an additional monthly charge for PMI. A true and accurate valuation is considerably in your favor. Contact The Townsend Firm today with your questions, or you may supply your information using our convenient online Order Form to order your independent valuation of residential property.
