"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

"My husband and I worked with John and Heather from NorthStar Appraisal Services to have a property we own appraised. Both of them were incredibly professional and friendly. They walked us through their entire process and answered all of the questions and concerns we had. The report was emailed to me (my preference) in no time at all and was exactly what we wanted and needed. Overall, we were very pleased with their services and will not hesitate to contact them for our next property appraisal. 10/10 absolutely recommend."

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

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.

Consulting the architect of your house is not the best way to determine when it was built. Many homes are built by developers or builders, so there may not be a specific architect to track down—especially if you have a very old house. Instead, it’s best to rely on local government records.

If a home's appraised value comes in lower than the offer price, it can create complications with financing. Lenders typically won't issue a loan for more than the property's market value, as this can push the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio too high and may prevent the loan from being approved. Your options depend on whether your purchase agreement includes an appraisal contingency. If there is no contingency, both parties may be locked into the deal, meaning the buyer pays more than the appraised value. If a contingency exists, the buyer can usually renegotiate the price or withdraw from the deal. If a buyer still wishes to proceed, they can try to negotiate a lower price, increase their down payment to cover the difference, or get a second appraisal.

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.

Having a garage installed certainly adds to the value of your home. The consideration is not whether it adds value, but for many, they want to know if adding a garage yields a return on their investment or ROI. While garages can add anywhere from 5% to 20% of the total value of your property, that doesn’t mean that they return 5% to 20% of the money invested in building them. Most homeowners build garages for a purpose but know that you can recover your investment when you sell or refinance.
