"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."

My husband and I used this company on two separate occasions and were extremely happy with the results both times. He pressure washed our home both times, and the second time he also did our drive-way and 3-tier back deck. He spent a considerable amount of time on both of these projects, and the back deck looked transformed (we were getting ready to sell our home and our real estate agent was impressed).

"I requested housecleaning for my mother's house. My mother is "culturally averse" to having someone else do "her" work, so it was difficult to get her to agree to a housecleaning. She was anxious all the way up to the time that Loya's arrived. 
It's a family-owned business; they made her feel at ease, did a phenomenal job, going above and beyond.  They cleaned places that hadn't been done in 20 years. 
Felix took extra good care of the piano--he's a jazz musician. :)
Afterward, my mom went around the house for an hour commenting on how good a job they did.

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.
