"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."

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

Ideally, you’d never pay more than the appraised value for a home, but there are some instances where it makes sense to do so. For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you’re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.

An FHA appraisal is valid for 180 days from the effective date of the report. In some cases, you can have the appraisal recertified if you make your request before the original expires so that you still may obtain an FHA loan. If approved, your appraisal update is valid for one year.

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. 

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.

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.
