What are appraisals for bail bonds for?

Bail bonds can be used to temporarily discharge people from law enforcement custody, and they can be "bought" with cash or other assets — like a house. Before a home or property can be used for bail bond, the court has to make sure that it's worth more than the dollar cost of the bond. A professional appraiser can perform a bail bond appraisal to estimate the value of your property so that it can be used as a bail bond. Using your home or property in place of cash for bond is called a property bond.

When is a bail bond appraisal required?

You'll want to get a bail bond appraisal if you use your property as a bail bond. In a situation where someone close to you is in jail and you can't afford to pay cash for collateral, a property bond can be used to allow them out of law enforcement custody.

What happens in a bail bond appraisal?

A bail bond appraisal is similar to other appraisals — an appraiser inspects a property, then writes a report describing how they estimated the value. Every appraiser at Ballew & Company is licensed and regulated by the Appraisal Foundation, local to the Sacramento County area, ethical, experienced, and dedicated to using the latest technology — so when you request an appraisal, you can rest assured that it's not just fast, but also standardized and very accurate.

How fast do I get a bail bond appraisal?

We understand that time is of the essence, and we want to get your loved one out of custody fast. When you order a bail bond appraisal through Ballew & Company, we want you to know that your order is our highest priority. We are willing to expedite your appraisal, so contact us now. But your appraisal needs to be both quick AND accurate. The ability to use your home as bond relies on the value of the property — normally, it must be valued at 150% to 200% the cost of the bail bond. So while we ensure a fast appraisal, we won't cut corners that result in an inaccurate estimate of your property.
