"As a trustee of an estate I am overwhelmed with all of the frustrating hoops I need to jump through, the confusion, the lack of response from different agencies. But one thing went right: the appraisal of real property by Damon. Prompt and reasonable."

"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."

"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

A property valuation, sometimes called a comparative market analysis or CMA, provides a real estate expert’s opinion on how much your property will sell for. It takes many things into consideration, like the condition and location of the home, but ultimately, all that matters for a property valuation is what a buyer might be willing to pay for the property. An appraisal is more concerned with determining the value. A valuation is to estimate what you’ll get for a property, while an appraisal helps a lender establish loan-to-value ratios and loan amounts.

While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location’s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. 

Ensure the property is clean, provide access to all areas, and supply relevant documents, such as recent upgrades or tax records.

While there’s technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.

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.
