"I can’t speak highly enough of Penny Smith as our real estate agent. Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity, and complex work ethics are very much appreciated and respected. She is detail-oriented, honest, good with people, and has a knack for selling homes. We sold our home one week after it was listed and received $125,000 over asking."

Customers say: Quality work

"Excellent Home Appraisal Experience! Review: I recently had the pleasure of working with a fantastic home appraisal service for a home in Diamond Bar, CA. From start to finish, the team was professional, thorough, and provided exceptional service. Being on another coast, choosing an Appraiser was daunting. The final appraisal report was comprehensive and well-documented, providing me with a clear understanding of my home's value. Not only did the appraisal process go smoothly, but the team also demonstrated excellent communication skills. I highly recommend this home appraisal service for anyone in need of a reliable and professional assessment of their property. Their expertise and attention to detail truly set them apart. Thank you to the entire appraisal team for their outstanding service. Kind regards, Brody D"

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

If the appraised value comes in lower than an offer, a buyer will normally be able to back out because a low appraisal can prevent a mortgage from going to underwriting. The buyer can also try to negotiate for a lower sale price or offer to put down more cash to bridge the appraisal gap.

Yes, adding a composite deck, such as one made from Trex, can significantly increase your home's value. It is a valuable home renovation for recouping costs, with some estimates for return on investment (ROI) ranging between 60% and 70%. More recently, Remodeling's 2024 Cost vs. Value Report suggests a deck addition has an ROI of 82.9%, with an average resale value of nearly $14,600. A new deck makes your yard more functional, enhances the landscape's aesthetic, and can entice prospective buyers. The investment may have a higher return if the deck adds usable square footage to the property.

A home sauna may be considered a luxury item by some homebuyers, which can provide a good return on investment. However, whether it increases your home's value ultimately depends on the buyer, as some may not want to take on the extra costs and maintenance associated with heating and upkeep.

Depending on the size of the home, the appraisal itself can take several hours. After the appraiser’s visit is complete, it can take between a few days and a few weeks to get the report back. This timeline is largely dependent on the appraiser’s workload, research requirements, efficiency, and other factors.

A home inspection and a home appraisal serve different purposes. A home inspection is a visual evaluation of the property's overall condition to identify any structural problems or issues with major systems like electrical and plumbing. Its main goal is to assess the home's long-term safety and determine if repairs are needed before a sale. In contrast, a home appraisal is a thorough evaluation of the property and its surrounding area to determine its current fair market value. This value helps set the asking price and guides the mortgage company’s lending decision. The average cost for both a home inspection and a home appraisal is around $350 each.
