"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."

"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

A comprehensive smart home system can be really attractive to buyers and increase the value of your property. Components such as a smart security system, smart lawn and garden systems, and smart appliances can all drive up the value of your property.

They provide objective, third-party valuation, guiding fair sales or purchase prices.

The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.

The average cost for a home or property appraisal is about $355, with prices typically ranging from $250 to $500. The final cost is influenced by several factors, including the property's size, age, location, and how it compares to other homes in the area. Appraisals for larger, older, or non-conforming properties often cost more. While a single-family home appraisal usually costs between $300 and $400, appraising a multi-family home can range from $500 to $1,000 due to its increased size and complexity.

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.
