"Mr. Chuck Fisher did an appraisal on my deceased mother's house. He was on time for the appointment, was friendly, and professional. I had the report in about four days which was fine with me. His price was reasonable and fair compared to a few others I spoke to. His report gave me an appraised value as of the date of death as well as a current value which was a few months after the death. Another appraiser wanted to charge a lot extra for the two values. I think Mr. Fisher did a thorough and fair appraisal."

"We had eight properties appraised for our parentâ s estate. This took a LOT of coordination as they are all rentals. Chris was great in working with our tenants, flexible, professional and courteous with all parties involved. Our appraisals were completed in a timely manner. As a former real estate loan underwriter, I can attest that all of the appraisals were done in a professional manner, accurate and represented the current market. I would HIGHLY recommend Chris Circuit for any appraisal needs that you may have."

"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

Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.

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.

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.

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area. 

You can be present during a home appraisal, but it’s best to stay out of the appraiser’s way. Make yourself available, but don’t engage or interrupt, and don’t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.
