Red’s Residential Appraisal Services
An appraisal begins with a clear understanding of the property and the reason a value opinion is needed. Red’s combines property research with knowledge of the local market to address the assignment.
A home’s characteristics, location, and relevant market evidence all matter. We discuss the intended use and scope of work before accepting an assignment, so the service fits the property and the purpose.
What you receive
A typical residential appraisal from Red’s is delivered as a PDF report with property photos, a measurement sketch, comparable-sales analysis, and the value conclusion. The report addresses the agreed assignment and intended use.

Discuss your assignmentEstimated appraisal fees
Red’s estimated fee for a standard single-family home appraisal in Granbury and Hood County is $500–$800, with baseline fees generally starting around $550. The final quote depends on the property, location, intended use, and scope of the assignment.
| Property or assignment type | Estimated fee |
|---|---|
| Standard single-family home | $500–$800 |
| Waterfront / Lake Granbury property | $600–$1,000+ |
| Large acreage homesite | $550–$1,200+ |
| FHA loan-related appraisal | $450–$1,200 |
| VA loan-related appraisal | $450–$1,200 |
These are estimated ranges, not a fixed quote. A “+” means complex assignments may exceed the listed amount. For FHA or VA loan-related work, discuss the appraisal requirements with Tracy and your lender before scheduling. Red’s provides appraisal services; the lender determines the borrower’s loan eligibility.
Waterfront features, property size, acreage, travel, and the availability of comparable sales can affect the research and analysis needed. Assignment scope and requested timing also affect the quote. Share your needed-by date so Tracy can discuss availability and the fee for the requested work. Loan program requirements can also affect the assignment scope. An appraisal addresses valuation and relevant property observations; it does not replace a home inspection.
Red’s serves 13 North Central Texas counties. Contact Tracy for a quote for your property’s county and location. These Granbury and Hood County estimates are a starting point for discussion, rather than a uniform fee schedule for every property in the service area.
Call, text or email Tracy to discuss the location, the service you need and the scope of the assignment. Share the property type, approximate size or acreage, intended use, and requested timeframe. Fees for land appraisals, ANSI home measurement, property evaluations, and construction draw inspections are quoted separately.
