"I hired Ray to give me an objective value of the property I was buying. When he sent me the report I just about died. It was lower than my offer. After a very sleepless night I put together a counter offer that was accepted!! Lesson: put appraisal in your contract as a contingency, hire an certified appraiser like Ray and don't be afraid to renegotiate if necessary."

"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 questions, answered by experts

The purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You’re generally responsible for the cost if you need to know the current value of your home to refinance your mortgage, though in some instances the lender will pay for it. The buyer pays for the appraisal when they are applying for their mortgage.

Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). 

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.

Foundation cracks won’t always affect your appraised value. All foundations crack due to normal settlement, so hairline cracks that aren’t leaking or uneven from side to side are unlikely to have an impact on your appraisal. Structural cracks, on the other hand, often lead to a reduced appraised value, especially if the underlying problem will cause the issue to worsen over time.

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.
