"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

You can be present during a home appraisal, but it’s best to stay out of the appraiser’s way. Make yourself available, but don’t engage or interrupt, and don’t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.

Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they’re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn’t a legal living space won’t affect your appraisal value.

While some aspects of an appraisal, such as comparable properties nearby, are out of your control, there are several steps you can take to potentially increase your home's value. Make any necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser's visit, as they can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. Examples include renovating older areas, updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, and staging your home. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades, which may increase your home's value by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.

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.

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
