My name is Lonn Apfel. I have been both a licensed, general appraiser and a real estate broker for over the last 48 years within the Inland Empire, east Los Angeles county and Orange County. My expertise is primarily focused upon residential home values. I believe that the combination of being both appraisal/real estate broker provides you, my client, with a deeper sense of value and market trends which are not typically found in either of the two worlds. I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you, helping to identify your needs and how I may best meet those needs.

"I was referred to Lonnie Apfel and he did not disappoint! He was polite, professional, honest and very knowledgeable. He completed the job on schedule as promised. I would recommend Lonnie without hesitation!"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Yes, experienced appraisers handle a variety of property types with tailored methods.

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.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.

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.

A property valuation, sometimes called a comparative market analysis or CMA, provides a real estate expert’s opinion on how much your property will sell for. It takes many things into consideration, like the condition and location of the home, but ultimately, all that matters for a property valuation is what a buyer might be willing to pay for the property. An appraisal is more concerned with determining the value. A valuation is to estimate what you’ll get for a property, while an appraisal helps a lender establish loan-to-value ratios and loan amounts.
