"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.

The entire appraisal process takes from seven to 10 days. This timeline accounts for the many steps of the appraisal process, including the post-inspection report completed by the appraiser.

Home appraisal services include the following tasks:

  • Inspect home interior and exterior

  • Evaluate materials, features, fixtures, and renovations

  • Review comparable properties

  • Write an appraisal report

Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). 

While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location’s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. 

You can be present during a home appraisal, but it’s best to stay out of the appraiser’s way. Make yourself available, but don’t engage or interrupt, and don’t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.
