McCith Appraisals provides Certified Residential Real Estate Appraisal Reports for all non lending purposes such as estates, divorces, tax assessment appeals, pre listings and market value determinations. We take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality, and customer service that we provide to meet our clients needs. It is our mission to provide a detailed and thorough report. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our client, we take great care to work and communicate with every client in a professional manner. **Please do not reach out if you are purchasing a home with a bank loan! Banks require the use of their own appraiser and will not accept an appraisal with someone they did not contract with directly.**

"The appraiser was very prompt with getting back to me. He came out very quickly; He was not at my home for very long, very polite and professional. I did receive my appraisal back in the time frame he gave me and I was very pleased with my report, Very professional and he took great pictures. He was also able to get very good comparable sales that were within 1 mile of my home and he was able to find very recent sales. I would absolutely use his services again."

Professional Home Inspection Company, HomePro Inspection, Inc. serves the Greater Chattanooga Metropolitan and the North Georgia Areas. As a professional Home Inspector since September 1994, I look forward to working with you on the purchase of your home and performing a thorough home inspection for you.. I WANT YOU TO KNOW WHAT I SEE! Why is a Home Inspection so Important? With over 20 years experience as a professional Home Inspector many clients ask if I have seen it all. You might think so, but the FACT is almost every week and no less than once a month I discover that someone has invented a New Way to do it WRONG! Most needed corrections discovered during a Home Inspection are to prolong the life of the building, many are for general safety and in some cases the corrections are needed to prevent the loss of the structure or for life safety. With advancing technology and engineered building products installation instructions have become quite complicated and are ever changing. I call it job security because the number of weekend warriors and contractors that do not bother to stay current with their trade far exceed the number of homes that I can inspect each year. If more people would read the provided directions I very well could be out of a career, but not to worry, that will not happen any time soon. As a seasoned Home Inspector I do occasionally see great workmanship. I truly appreciate the hard work and impressive results that our area craftsmen take the time to perform. They are few and far between and deserve every ounce of respect and praise for a job well done. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Roger was very thorough and informative. He didn't mind me attending the entire inspection and asking lots of questions. My realtor also confirmed that he is the toughest, most thorough inspector she knows. Very satisfied and impressed, recommend highly."

1978 years of experience

Since 1978, Reliable has offered home services with exceptional reliability and customer service. We offer more financing options than any other company, even Comfort as a Service, a hassle free way to get energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, water heaters, water purification even generators for a low monthly payment and all repairs, maintenance even filters are NO additional CHARGE EVER. Reliable takes care of everything. That is an UNBEATABLE LIFETIME WARRANTY.

"I had a brand new heat pump system installed in April 2023. They sent subcontractors to install it who were very unprofessional and they left bare wires hanging out of the machine and it did not look like it was installed correctly. It stopped working completely 4 times in 5 months, the last time was on October 10, service tech said, “I really don’t agree with the way they installed it “ he said the wires were barely connected so it kept losing power. He got it working again and left. Two weeks ago it got cold and we turned the system to heat for the very first time. It blew cold air. We made ANOTHER service call. The technician said that a switch had “gone bad” because, “they wear out” we explained that we have never used the heat even once, so how could the switch be worn out. Then they advised they had to order a part. Over a week later the part came in and they returned and that still didn’t fix. Now they say the compressor has, “gone bad” and when we reiterated that we have never even used it so how is it worn out they answered, “they just go bad sometimes” we still don’t have heat, they say they have to order more parts. We asked them to look over the whole system because we don’t think it is installed right and I am genuinely concerned that it is a fire hazard and they looked at it, put electrical tape on some hanging wires and left. We have had to take SIX days off work so far and buy space heaters and we are no closer to having a working system. This unit is less then SIX MONTHS OLD. At this point I have no choice but to pursue legal action. This whole experience has been terrible and has cost me hundreds in missed time at work and I’m still paying for a system that does not work."

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.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.

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.

Costs depend on the property size, audit complexity, and whether additional testing (e.g., blower door) is included.

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.
