  • Which areas does Tyke Appraisals serve?

    Tyke Appraisals provides services along Florida's West Coast, including Hillsborough, Pinellas, Manatee, Sarasota, and Charlotte counties.
  • What is the appraisal process like, and what happens during an inspection?

    Like most professional real estate appraisal companies, Tyke Appraisals, Inc conducts a thorough property inspection—measuring the home, documenting its layout and features (such as number of rooms, condition, improvements, and upgrades), and noting any amenities or drawbacks. We then research recent comparable sales in your area, analyze current market conditions, and compile a detailed report that provides an unbiased estimate of your property's fair market value.
  • How long does it usually take to get an appraisal report?

    Turnaround time can vary depending on the size and type of property (residential vs. commercial), but many clients note that Tyke Appraisals, Inc is known for its quick responses and efficient service. For a more precise timeline for a property or home appraisal, you can request an estimate when you first contact us.
  • What types of situations call for an appraisal?

    Common uses for property appraisals include buying or selling a home, refinancing, determining market value for rentals, settling estates or divorces, tax appeals, commercial transactions, or simply obtaining an up-to-date valuation of your property. Appraisals play an essential role in these transactions, helping clients make informed financial decisions. In fact, according to IBISWorld, the U.S. real estate appraisal industry is projected to reach a market size of $11.9 billion in 2026.
  • How is an appraisal different from a home inspection?

    An appraisal estimates property valuation within the market based on condition, features, and comparable sales. In contrast, a home inspection focuses on the property's condition and safety, such as plumbing, wiring, or structural issues. Tyke Appraisals, Inc provides value-oriented appraisal services, not home inspections for safety.
  • Are the consultations really free?

    Yes, Tyke Appraisals, Inc provides free consultations for real estate appraisals, property valuation, and more.
  • How do fees work?

    Fees vary based on the size, type, and complexity of the property appraisal (residential vs. commercial, land vs. building). For a more accurate estimate, we recommend contacting Tyke Appraisals, Inc directly with your property details.
  • Can Tyke Appraisals help with unique properties (condos, land, rentals, etc.)?

    Tyke Appraisals offers services for a diverse range of property types. Their expertise extends to homes, condominiums, apartments, rental properties, land parcels, and commercial spaces.
