"We recently worked with appraiser Andrew on a property we have listed in Vero Beach, and the experience was excellent. Communication was prompt, clear, and to the point, with any questions addressed quickly and professionally. Andrew was a pleasure to work with and delivered the report on time, if not earlier. Great job, and thank you!"

"Matthew was professional, courteous and accommodating in performing two appraisals back-to-back at times convenient to the property manager and tenants to minimize the time they needed to take from their respective jobs to allow access to the properties. Doing so also allowed him to give a good quote on his services, as he was able to perform his work in short order with one principal contact going straight from one property to the next. He also easily accommodated the need for the appraisals to be as of a specific date in the past, in order for them to be used as a Fair Market Valuation for a legal report. His work products were provided quickly in electronic format, as desired, and met all needs and expectations."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

The condition and appearance of your yard can affect your home appraisal value. A well-maintained, attractive yard with curb appeal adds to a property’s value, while an overgrown, messy, poorly maintained yard can hurt your home’s appraisal. Even small cosmetic improvements to your yard, like adding mulch, trimming trees, and cleaning out plant beds, can help your appraisal value.

The entire appraisal process takes from seven to 10 days. This timeline accounts for the many steps of the appraisal process, including the post-inspection report completed by the appraiser.

Home appraisal services include the following tasks:

  • Inspect home interior and exterior

  • Evaluate materials, features, fixtures, and renovations

  • Review comparable properties

  • Write an appraisal report

Costs depend on the property size, audit complexity, and whether additional testing (e.g., blower door) is included.

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. 

Land doesn’t depreciate in the same way that a house, vehicle, or other property does, but it can lose value based on various factors. Environmental changes, nearby development, zoning changes, and economic downturns can all cause land to lose value over time. Value is a comparative figure, so as other related factors change, so can land’s value.
