Customers say: True professional

"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."

"Professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about appraisals. Was available within a few days of our first contact and arrived on time to the properties. One of the rental properties' tenants was abrasive and obnoxious but Carlton maintained his composure."

"I recently had a property appraised and was very pleased with the entire experience. George was professional, punctual, and thorough in evaluating the home. He took the time to answer my questions, explained the process clearly, and delivered the report within the expected timeframe. He felt fair, detailed, and well-supported by market data. I appreciate his expertise and would absolutely recommend his services to others needing a reliable and objective property valuation."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

The average cost for a home or property appraisal is about $355, with prices typically ranging from $250 to $500. The final cost is influenced by several factors, including the property's size, age, location, and how it compares to other homes in the area. Appraisals for larger, older, or non-conforming properties often cost more. While a single-family home appraisal usually costs between $300 and $400, appraising a multi-family home can range from $500 to $1,000 due to its increased size and complexity.

While there's not a lot of definite research, some experts suggest that an in-ground or wall-mounted basketball hoop can add value to your home by increasing curb appeal. In addition, having a basketball hoop is an attractive feature of a house since it promotes physical activity, especially for children.

A koi pond may add value to your home if it’s a feature sellers are looking for. Like pools, ponds can affect your property value depending on their condition, whether they’re a popular selling point, and how well they’re incorporated into your home’s landscape.

Foundation cracks won’t always affect your appraised value. All foundations crack due to normal settlement, so hairline cracks that aren’t leaking or uneven from side to side are unlikely to have an impact on your appraisal. Structural cracks, on the other hand, often lead to a reduced appraised value, especially if the underlying problem will cause the issue to worsen over time.
