"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"

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Depending on where you live and the demand for pools and spools, a spool may increase your property value and make your home more appealing to potential buyers. It’s worth looking at installation, maintenance, insurance, and safety costs to see if the increase in value is worth the cost of installing a spool.

Mortgage underwriting is often the next step after an appraisal, and this process can take anywhere from a week to a month or more. The timeline depends on the mortgage lender’s requirements, how quickly the buyer gets the required documentation to their lender, and whether there are any issues during the underwriting process.

Finishing a basement can add value to your house by transforming an unused area into valuable living space. Finished basements can provide an average 70% return on investment (ROI), depending on your area and the type of basement. As long as you follow all local building codes, including installing points of egress, you may be able to count a finished basement toward your home’s total square footage.

While parts of the appraisal are out of your control, there are some things you can do to potentially raise the home’s value. You can make necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser visits—an appraiser can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades. The appraiser will likely increase the value of your home by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.

Home and property appraisals cost about $355 on average, ranging from $250 to $500, depending on the size of the home and property, age of the property, comparability to nearby homes, and location. While single-family homes typically cost between $300 and $400 to appraise, multi-family home appraisal can cost $500 to $1,000 due to the increased size and building complexity.
