"Professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about appraisals. Was available within a few days of our first contact and arrived on time to the properties. One of the rental properties' tenants was abrasive and obnoxious but Carlton maintained his composure."

"steve n josh a cut way above the rest! first, they responded quickly to my posting. i explained my situation, emergency appraisals needed the same day. it was a shot in the dark and quite honestly didnt think it would happen. at 1:30 pm i told steve it was a dire emergency to have these by 8am the next day for court. he suggested a “desk review”, which is a written review of all the mistakes opposing parties appraiser made. (btw he ripped it to shreds). they dropped everything for me! were in constant communication throughout the day reassuring me i would have them when i woke up in the a.m. and i did! steve is empathetic, extremely knowledgeable in his field (30yrs) and really cares about his clients. he didnt take advantage of my situation only charging me a nominal fee. i will never go anywhere else and have already hired him again. and trust me neither will you once you use ALL VALUE APPRAISAL!! 10 stars!!!"

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

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.

If installing board and batten fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn’t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home’s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home’s price won’t see a noticeable bump. 

Xeriscaping can absolutely increase your home value, but the return on investment (ROI) depends on where you live and how prevalent xeriscaping is in your area. In drought-prone climates, xeriscaping can boost your curb appeal and make your home more appealing to buyers due to the reduced maintenance and watering costs. However, in areas where xeriscaping isn’t the norm, some buyers may be willing to pay less for a xeriscaped property if they don’t like the appearance.

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.

Around 1-2 weeks, including inspection and reporting time for an official evaluation.
