"I can’t speak highly enough of Penny Smith as our real estate agent. Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity, and complex work ethics are very much appreciated and respected. She is detail-oriented, honest, good with people, and has a knack for selling homes. We sold our home one week after it was listed and received $125,000 over asking."

"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."

Customers say: Quality work

"John is fantastic! I hired him to appraise a home in Redondo Beach and found him to be extremely thorough, fair and knowledgeable about the neighborhood. He was quick to turn around his report and even followed up to ensure I had everything I needed after the work was completed. I would absolutely hire him again and highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a home appraisal."

"Recently had a consultation with US Home Developers regarding a new home construction project I was intending on starting. I spoke with Elaina and she kindly took plenty of time out of her day and walked me through the process. She gave me detailed information, and was very patient and understanding of the fact that I am new to the "housing game" and ultimately made me realize that building a new home might not be right for me at the present time. The fact that Elaina kindly offered me her time to provide me guidance and then tell me a new home build might not be right for me at the moment, clearly shows that you as a potential customer can expect US Home Developers will help you do what is right for you whatever that may be. Highly recommend you work with them, will definitely go back to them in the future!"

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. 

In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.

You should aim to have three or more bedrooms for the best resale value, and having four bedrooms is considered the gold standard. Having just two bedrooms is a functional obsolescence for larger family sizes, so a minimum of three bedrooms is ideal. Adding square footage from additional bedrooms will almost always be worthwhile, though, and can easily provide an ROI of 70%.

No, the appraisal value comes from an appraiser and is a professional opinion of value based on property location and condition, while the market value is determined solely by what buyers are willing to pay for your home. Lenders normally use appraised values to ensure they’re staying within target loan-to-value (LTV) ratios—the market value is simply what the home sells for. Appraised value can sit above or below market value.

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.

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