Customers say: True professional

"I no longer live in SoCal and we are part owners of a property that needed an appraisal. Having good experience with Angi and finding quality pros, I searched for an appraiser. We chose Penny and started a conversation. I explained our purpose for the appraisal and she fully understood our needs. After a short time that was agreed upon, she provided us with a very well prepared and professional appraisal. Penny is very easy to work with and honest which was paramount for this job. I would absolutely use in the future if the need arrises. Mahalo!"

"We needed to have a property appraisal to settle an estate. We had never done this before and were unclear as to what to expect. We contacted Carlton Haugh Appraisal Services and he put our mind at ease and explained the entire process. He answered all our questions, no matter how small and kept us updated along the way. Carlton was a very pleasant and professional person to work with. The appraisal was very thorough, the fee was very reasonable, and the appraisal was done in a very reasonable amount of time. We would definitely recommend his services to others."

"I recently had a family member pass away. My CPA said I needed an appraisal on some properties. Alan was able to help me out with a quick appraisal on a home and he was able to refer an appraiser on a commercial property located in a distant city. His work was fast and fairly priced and his referral to a distant location helped me immensely. I would use him again."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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 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.

Xeriscaping can absolutely increase your home value, but the return on investment (ROI) depends on where you live and how prevalent xeriscaping is in your area. In drought-prone climates, xeriscaping can boost your curb appeal and make your home more appealing to buyers due to the reduced maintenance and watering costs. However, in areas where xeriscaping isn’t the norm, some buyers may be willing to pay less for a xeriscaped property if they don’t like the appearance.

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.

The cost ranges from $300 to $500, depending on the property's size and location. Due to their complexity, commercial appraisals may cost more.
