"This was an appraisal of a older condominium unit in a gated Southern California beach community for a trust administration. Unusual in that Penny did not have access to interior of the unit she had to appraise. She was very thorough in her research of the complex, and inspected a similar unit that was on the market, in addition to reviewing prior sales records and condition of the unit she appraised. Her comps were very good and it was clear that she'd done her due diligence to discern the appropriate sales, given the three different areas of buildout in the complex. She made a balanced and fair valuation of the property which was important for me to have as the Trustee, and reported on her considerations in good detail."

"I had Mr. James Beggs appraised one of my properties first and see how he does. I needed the step up in basis appraisal done right away so i would have the report before taxes were to be due in April. Mr. Beggs was able to do the appraisal right away, he arrived on time for our appointment to meet with him, explained my options on the appraisals and had the appraisal report within a few days. I was happy that he was able to do it right away and I was satisfied of his work so i requested him to do my other two properties as well. I requested for him to send me an online and a hard copy report of the appraisals and he did. Im a happy and a thankful client. Thanks Mr. Beggs and thank you too Home Advisor! This is my second time i used this site."

"We needed to have a property appraisal to settle an estate. We had never done this before and were unclear as to what to expect. We contacted Carlton Haugh Appraisal Services and he put our mind at ease and explained the entire process. He answered all our questions, no matter how small and kept us updated along the way. Carlton was a very pleasant and professional person to work with. The appraisal was very thorough, the fee was very reasonable, and the appraisal was done in a very reasonable amount of time. We would definitely recommend his services to others."

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, the age of your home can impact its value. However, age is just one of many factors that will have an effect. An older home may be perceived as needing more work and maintenance, but if you’ve kept up with repairs or done any renovations, this will increase its value. Buyers will also consider the size of the house, location, and how nearby homes are priced. Lastly, value also depends on whether it’s a buyer or seller’s market.

The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.

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.

Ideally, you’d never pay more than the appraised value for a home, but there are some instances where it makes sense to do so. For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you’re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.

Typically during transactions or refinancing, or whenever significant improvements are made.
