A Message from Lyle Gallagher
My real estate career started in 1977 with Sterling Realtors in the Park Cities of Dallas. I initially sold real estate part time and helped my brother do appraisals part time. Later I became a Broker and then a full time appraiser in 1983. My brother and I pioneered the use of computers in real estate appraising.

Why You Should Hire Real Estate Appraisers?
Accurate Property Valuation
- Fair Market Value: As an appraiser, we provide an unbiased estimate of a property’s market value, ensuring that you don’t overpay or undersell.
- Informed Decision-Making: Whether buying, selling, or refinancing, knowing the accurate value helps you make sound financial decisions.
Mortgage Approval
- Lender Requirement: Lenders often require an appraisal to confirm that the property’s value supports the loan amount. This protects both the lender and the borrower from overvalued property risks. Our real estate appraisers will guide you in every aspect related to your property.
Tax Assessment and Appeals
- Property Taxes: An accurate appraisal can help ensure that you’re not overpaying on property taxes.
- Appeals: If you believe your property has been over-assessed, our appraisal report can support your case in a tax appeal.
Estate Planning and Settlement
- Fair Distribution: In estate planning or settlement, an appraisal ensures that the property’s value is fairly distributed among heirs or beneficiaries.
- Legal Compliance: Courts often require appraisals in cases of divorce, inheritance, or legal disputes involving property.
Investment Analysis
- Real Estate Investors: Our expert appraisers provide essential data for evaluating the potential return on investment (ROI) and assessing the risks associated with a property.
Meet Your Insurance Purposes
- Adequate Coverage: Our property appraisal helps determine the appropriate level of insurance coverage, ensuring that the property is neither under-insured nor over-insured.
Avoiding Overpayment
- Buyer Protection: Our property appraisal ensures that buyers do not overpay for a property, especially in competitive markets where prices may be inflated.
Regulatory Compliance – Stay Bullet Proof
- Legal Requirements: In some cases, real estate appraisal may be required by law or regulation, especially in commercial transactions or large estates.
By hiring a real estate appraiser, you gain a professional, objective assessment of a property’s value, which is critical in making informed, fair, and legally compliant real estate decisions. Appraisals and home measures are NOT for litigation purposes.

What is Property Appraisal?
What is a real estate appraisal and how it works? Real estate appraisal or property appraisal is the process of determining the fair market value of a property, typically conducted by a licensed or certified appraiser. This valuation is crucial for various following purposes.
- Buying and Selling: Appraisals help buyers and sellers determine an accurate price for a property.
- Mortgage Lending: Lenders require an appraisal to ensure the property is worth the loan amount.
- Tax Assessment: Appraisals can influence property taxes by determining the taxable value of a property.
- Refinancing: When refinancing a mortgage, lenders often require a new appraisal to confirm the property’s current value.
- Legal Reasons: Appraisals may be needed for estate settlements, divorces, or disputes.
How It Works
The appraiser inspects the property, considering factors like size, location, condition, and comparable sales in the area. They may use different methods, such as:
- Sales Comparison Approach: Comparing the property to similar recently sold properties.
- Cost Approach: Estimating the cost to replace the property with a similar one.
- Income Approach: Used primarily for rental properties, calculating value based on income potential.
The appraiser then compiles a report with their findings, which is used by the interested parties to make informed decisions regarding the property.
Appraisals are essential in ensuring that all parties involved in a real estate transaction have a clear understanding of the property’s value, thereby facilitating fair and informed decisions. Metroplex Appraiser will help you for your property appraisal. You’re just a call away. Contact us today.
