"I had the pleasure of working with Wojciech Leja (FYI he pronounces it Voy-CHECK) from My Florida Home Appraisal / and I couldn’t be more impressed with his professionalism and in-depth knowledge, particularly when it comes to navigating the FEMA 50/50 rule. Wojciech took the time to thoroughly explain the nuances of the 50/50 rule, which can be quite complex for homeowners. He made sure I fully understood how it applies to my property, helping me make informed decisions about potential FEMA assistance for repairs or rebuilding. His expertise in this area was invaluable and helped relieve a lot of stress. Beyond his expertise, Wojciech was prompt, responsive, and genuinely cared about ensuring I had a clear understanding of the process every step of the way. If you’re in Hillsborough/Pinellas and need someone who knows their stuff when it comes to FEMA regulations and appraisals, I highly recommend Wojciech Leja at My Florida at Home Appraisal."

I am a seasoned professional that assists all clients with obtaining a mortgage for whether it be to buy or refinance a home. If there is a delay due to credit or personal issues we can discuss those and set a plan for the future. "Being a mortgage broker gives me the opportunity to help people through a challenging financial process, making it as understandable and anxiety-free as possible. I enjoy educating my clients and helping them feel confident in the financial decisions they are making for their families and their futures. Getting a family into their dream home or opening up a financial opportunity for them, is very rewarding"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits—like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court—then your property taxes will be affected.

Some appraisers hold a Member of the Appraisal Institute designation. This accolade is the highest credential property appraisers can earn. An MAI appraisal is typically used for commercial properties.

While your lender will likely recommend an appraiser, you can also hire a professional home appraiser on your own. Choose someone who is experienced in your type of residential property, and ensure they hold all of the necessary credentials that your state or region requires.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.

Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.
