Are you are buying a home with the owner carrying back the paper (owner financing)? It is well worth the cost to hire an appraiser to make sure you don't pay more than it is worth. For your protection, many real estate agents will write in a purchase agreement, "this contract is contingent upon the property appraising for the sales price." What about those online appraisals where you enter the address and it tells you what the house is worth? Don't be fooled by those websites! Call The Appraiser today to get a fair and unbiased evaluation on your property!

Justin Moriarty & his Wife Jennifer run the business together. We pride ourselves on quality and respect for the homeowner. Remember, an appraisal is a very important report and we take the time to put together an above quality appraisal. A quality appraisal does take time & research. The cheapest and the quickest appraiser should not be how you make the choice to hire. Your appraisal matters so you should be careful who you pick to complete the job! Justin is very picky and very detail oriented. We are your quality choice.\n\n\nMake sure you pick an appraiser that is open and honest with you. You should be able to ask lots of questions and be given all the answers you seek. Any appraiser who does not meet those needs should not be hired by you. For your peace of mind appraisers are background checked regularly and well educated.\n\nSo lets chat! We are here to help you.\n\nWhat is an appraisal?\n\n~An appraisal is an opinion of value backed up by facts.

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Estate shutters are considered a high-end window treatment that increases home value. As previously mentioned, this project comes with an ROI of up to 75%. Shutters can also improve your home’s energy efficiency, especially if you choose PVC or faux wood shutters, which will lead to long-term savings on your energy bills.

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.

While there’s technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.

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.
