"Elmer was very professional on my land appraisal. He made two trips to the planning department in order to determine the highest and best use of my land based on San Jose's zoning and building requirements. Elmer was very easy to contact by phone. He always answered his phone or readily called me back. I would gladly use him to do any future appraisals."

"Charlie was great to work with. Most of the time appraisers will get an order to do an appraisal and call you in the next few days. Charlie called right away and we were able to schedule an appointment for the very next day. I really appreciated his timeliness, especially right before a holiday. Within 2 days, the appraisal report was complete! Charlie was also very easy to talk with and listened intently to various items that would accurately reflect the value of the property."

"The whole transaction went off without a hitch. We sold our property in Austin, Texas and purchased a duplex in San Diego soon after. Theresa kept in touch with our selling agent, kept us informed and managed the whole process beautifully. I was impressed with how knowledgeable she was regarding real estate law and procedure. Theresa is very hard working and thorough and I would not hesitate to use her again."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

Ideally, you’d never pay more than the appraised value for a home, but there are some instances where it makes sense to do so. For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you’re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.

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

The condition and appearance of your yard can affect your home appraisal value. A well-maintained, attractive yard with curb appeal adds to a property’s value, while an overgrown, messy, poorly maintained yard can hurt your home’s appraisal. Even small cosmetic improvements to your yard, like adding mulch, trimming trees, and cleaning out plant beds, can help your appraisal value.

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.
