Customers say: True professional

"This was an appraisal of a older condominium unit in a gated Southern California beach community for a trust administration. Unusual in that Penny did not have access to interior of the unit she had to appraise. She was very thorough in her research of the complex, and inspected a similar unit that was on the market, in addition to reviewing prior sales records and condition of the unit she appraised. Her comps were very good and it was clear that she'd done her due diligence to discern the appropriate sales, given the three different areas of buildout in the complex. She made a balanced and fair valuation of the property which was important for me to have as the Trustee, and reported on her considerations in good detail."

"Professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about appraisals. Was available within a few days of our first contact and arrived on time to the properties. One of the rental properties' tenants was abrasive and obnoxious but Carlton maintained his composure."

"steve n josh a cut way above the rest! first, they responded quickly to my posting. i explained my situation, emergency appraisals needed the same day. it was a shot in the dark and quite honestly didnt think it would happen. at 1:30 pm i told steve it was a dire emergency to have these by 8am the next day for court. he suggested a “desk review”, which is a written review of all the mistakes opposing parties appraiser made. (btw he ripped it to shreds). they dropped everything for me! were in constant communication throughout the day reassuring me i would have them when i woke up in the a.m. and i did! steve is empathetic, extremely knowledgeable in his field (30yrs) and really cares about his clients. he didnt take advantage of my situation only charging me a nominal fee. i will never go anywhere else and have already hired him again. and trust me neither will you once you use ALL VALUE APPRAISAL!! 10 stars!!!"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

Wainscoting isn’t a design element that can be directly tied to an increased house price. Despite that, it is a highly marketable element that can generate significant interest from potential buyers who enjoy the style, and is relatively inexpensive to remove for those who don’t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn’t result in depreciation of your home’s value—usually the opposite. 

Estate shutters are considered a high-end window treatment that increases home value. As previously mentioned, this project comes with an ROI of up to 75%. Shutters can also improve your home’s energy efficiency, especially if you choose PVC or faux wood shutters, which will lead to long-term savings on your energy bills.

Yes, the age of your home can impact its value. However, age is just one of many factors that will have an effect. An older home may be perceived as needing more work and maintenance, but if you’ve kept up with repairs or done any renovations, this will increase its value. Buyers will also consider the size of the house, location, and how nearby homes are priced. Lastly, value also depends on whether it’s a buyer or seller’s market.

In most cases, you can expect home automation to boost your home value. This technology makes the homeowner’s life easier and more comfortable, and some provide increased safety and protection. Buyers will likely recognize value in security systems and utility monitors, as well as comfort-focused upgrades that save on electric bills while keeping interior rooms at the desired temperature and humidity. On average, you can expect a 50% and 75% return on investment on home automation services, and potentially even more if the automation reduces homeowner’s insurance.
