"He was very professional. He had ran over at a previous appointment, but was courteous & let us know ASAP. When he arrived, he introduced himself, explained what he would be doing & got right to work. He started on the roof, went into the attic, basement, crawl spaces, anywhere you could get in the home. He took hundreds of pictures. When he was finished, he went over everything with us. It’s a bit overwhelming, but he seemed more than happy to answer questions & gave thorough explanations. He also writes up a report and emails it to you, as well as giving you the pictures. His pricing was very competitive. I believe the regular price is about $250 & we paid $300 because of the age of the home. My husband built houses for many years & was impressed with his work & the report he gave us about the home. I would definitely use his services again."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

To get the highest appraisal value possible for your home, make any necessary repairs and updates prior to the appraisal. Some examples of tasks include updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, renovate older areas of the home, and consider staging your home. Keep in mind that some aspects of the appraisal are out of your control, such as comparable properties nearby.

The purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You’re generally responsible for the cost if you need to know the current value of your home to refinance your mortgage, though in some instances the lender will pay for it. The buyer pays for the appraisal when they are applying for their mortgage.

In short, yes, a pond can add to your home’s value. However, whether it adds value will depend on the condition and aesthetic of your pond. Having this feature already built into a yard’s home can be appealing to homebuyers who value its aesthetic and would prefer not to build it themselves. But if it is not kept in good condition, it could turn buyers away.

Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they’re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn’t a legal living space won’t affect your appraisal value.

Land doesn’t depreciate in the same way that a house, vehicle, or other property does, but it can lose value based on various factors. Environmental changes, nearby development, zoning changes, and economic downturns can all cause land to lose value over time. Value is a comparative figure, so as other related factors change, so can land’s value.
