Why 1st Source for Your Austin Appraisal Needs?
With so many appraisal companies it is hard to know which one is the best. Furthermore, real estate appraisals are not something that most of us purchase frequently, a fact which only adds to the confusion. For this reason we have compiled a list of the top 7 reasons we are your best source for appraisals in the Austin and Central Texas area.
Top 7 Reasons:
- Our appraisers have the experience and seasoning required to perform accurate and thorough real estate valuations. All of our appraisers are licensed by the state of Texas, having completed a minimum of 2,000 hours of appraisal experience and passed several state examinations.
- We specialize in writing accurate and ethical appraisal reports that are USPAP compliant. Our appraisers attened yearly USPAP courses to stay current with industry topics.
- Customer service is always a concern for any company but we take it one step further. We strive to set reasonable expectations for our clients by being honest and upfront about all assignments. We also value customer relations and keep all clients up to date via emailed status reports.
- That brings up to another one of our strong suits - SPEED. We've made sizeable investments in software and technology that allows up to perform our job at a pace much faster than appraisers could before. With industry leading appraisal software, detailed sketching programs, and state of the art field tools we are able to complete appraisals in half the time that it takes our competition. We even offer a next business day turn-time option for those of you who wish to receive your appraisal ASAP!
- We realize that while some of the above aspects may be important for our real estate professional clients, they may not be "top of the list" for our homeowner and individual clients. For this reason we have also made an effort to offer our services at rates that are among the most competitive in the area. Depending on the type of appraisal you need, fees start as low at $299!
- Here's another facet to think about - What good is an appraisal if your lender won't accept it?

You can rest assured that all of our appraisers are approvable by all lenders, including FHA loans.
- Last but definitely not least - We're Professionals. While many appraisers may be working out of their garage or basement, 1st Source maintains office in both the Houston and Austin area so you can count on us being around tomorrow.
