"I'm writing to follow up on my recent experience with Jake Min from Silicon Valley Pioneer Real Estate. His appraisal of my rental property exceeded my expectations in several key areas. First, the comprehensiveness of the report was remarkable. It went far beyond a simple valuation, offering detailed insights into the property's condition, market comparables, and potential areas for improvement. This level of detail will be invaluable as I plan future investments and maintenance for the property. Second, Jake's professionalism was impeccable. He arrived punctually for the scheduled appointment, conducted himself with utmost courtesy throughout the process, and delivered the appraisal report within three days, as promised. His clear and concise communication ensured a smooth and efficient experience. Beyond the technical aspects, I found Jake to be extremely personable and approachable. He took the time to answer all my questions thoroughly and patiently, explaining complex details"

"Mr. Fleener provided us with the exact product that we requested, and appraisal report on property which is the subject of litigation, which he prepared after reviewing relevant records and driving by the property. He delivered the report a day early for the price of green. I would certainly recommend using Mr. Fleener's services."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits—like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court—then your property taxes will be affected.

Ensure the property is clean, provide access to all areas, and supply relevant documents, such as recent upgrades or tax records.

Yes, home appraisers look at your windows when appraising your property to determine the market value of your home. They’ll factor in the type of windows, quality, condition, whether or not there are screens covering the windows, frame materials, size, insulation, and more to come up with an unbiased property assessment.

As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. 

In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.
