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

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.

Appraisals can come in above or below the list price or offer price for a property, and where it falls depends on many factors. Those include the condition of the property, the location, and the age of the home, but often, the condition of the market is the biggest determining factor. Where demand is high for properties, buyers compete with each other for homes, which tends to drive up offer prices above where appraisals come in. Where demand is low, you’ll often see the opposite happening.

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.

If installing board and batten fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn’t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home’s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home’s price won’t see a noticeable bump. 

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
