"As a trustee of an estate I am overwhelmed with all of the frustrating hoops I need to jump through, the confusion, the lack of response from different agencies. But one thing went right: the appraisal of real property by Damon. Prompt and reasonable."

Customers say: Quick response

"Before I hired Circuit Valuations I had an appraiser come out to assess its value. They were in over their heads and it had the chance to cost me a very important deal and a lot of money. I then hired Circuit Valuations after a colleague recommended them to me. The expertise was night and day. Circuit painstakingly evaluated my property and took into account nuances which the previous appraiser simply couldnâ t understand. The appraisal from Circuit Valuations saved my deal and made me hundreds of thousands of additional proceeds in the deal. I simply will never hire anyone other than Circuit Valuatioms again. They are the best of the best."

"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."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Appraisals can come in above or below the list price or offer price for a property, and where it falls depends on many factors. Those include the condition of the property, the location, and the age of the home, but often, the condition of the market is the biggest determining factor. Where demand is high for properties, buyers compete with each other for homes, which tends to drive up offer prices above where appraisals come in. Where demand is low, you’ll often see the opposite happening.

Your home insurance company may allow you to use an appraisal instead of an inspection when you apply for coverage. Keep in mind that despite this, an appraisal is far less detailed than the different types of home inspections available and may not reveal potential risks that you’ll want to know about.

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.

Some appraisers hold a Member of the Appraisal Institute designation. This accolade is the highest credential property appraisers can earn. An MAI appraisal is typically used for commercial properties.

While your lender will likely recommend an appraiser, you can also hire a professional home appraiser on your own. Choose someone who is experienced in your type of residential property, and ensure they hold all of the necessary credentials that your state or region requires.

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.
