Customers say: Quick response

"Sylvanna was a very pleasant person to deal with. She did the appraisal and e-mailed the document to us very quickly, as she had promised. Unfortunately, we disagree with her assessment. We have a 20 x 30 shop with attached RV-port that she felt was "personal property" and therefore was not used to determine the property value. There's no way this permanent building on a cement slab would be taken/moved when we sell."

"I recently used Peiffer Appraisals to have my house and rental property appraised for tax purposes. David was easy to get ahold of and was able to schedule the inspections for the same week. Both appraisals seemed very reasonable and I was happy with the values. He was easy to talk to, answered all my questions, and sent me the report very quickly. I would definitely use his services again and will recommend him to any friends or family needing an appraisal too."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

An FHA appraisal is valid for 180 days from the effective date of the report. In some cases, you can have the appraisal recertified if you make your request before the original expires so that you still may obtain an FHA loan. If approved, your appraisal update is valid for one year.

Yes, appraisals are often used for property tax appeals, estate planning, and determining market value.

In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, hire another appraiser to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn’t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.

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.

While some aspects of an appraisal, such as comparable properties nearby, are out of your control, there are several steps you can take to potentially increase your home's value. Make any necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser's visit, as they can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. Examples include renovating older areas, updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, and staging your home. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades, which may increase your home's value by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.
