When a family pledges a home to secure a bond, the bail agent or the court needs to see how much equity the property really holds. A supported appraisal documents the market value so the equity can be measured against the bond amount — usually on a tight deadline.
Speed without shortcuts
Bond assignments are almost always urgent. Desktop appraisals are frequently accepted for this purpose and can be turned around quickly; rush delivery is available when the schedule allows and is confirmed before you commit.
Know what the agent requires
Bail agents and courts differ in the report type and documentation they accept, so share their requirements with your request. If they need an interior inspection, a Standard appraisal is available in San Diego and Riverside Counties.
Report options
These report types are most often used for this purpose. The quote you receive will confirm which one fits your situation.
Requesting this appraisal
Use the request form to share the property address, the purpose and the effective date you need. You will receive a written quote and delivery date by email — usually within one business day — with no obligation until you approve it.
