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."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, hire another appraiser to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn’t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.

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.

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.

An FHA appraisal is valid for 180 days from the effective date of the report. In some cases, you can have the appraisal recertified if you make your request before the original expires so that you still may obtain an FHA loan. If approved, your appraisal update is valid for one year.

Ensure the property is clean, provide access to all areas, and supply relevant documents, such as recent upgrades or tax records.
