Commercial Real Estate Appraising - We appraise the "big box" commercial buildings. Machinery dealerships, warehouses, repair shops and local industrial buildings fit in the category of "big boxes". We can refer you to very well qualified Certified General Real Property appraisers for specialized use buildings like motels, restaurants, Laundromats and strip malls. Financial Consultation - All three of our associates have been lenders previously during their careers ranging from ten years to 44 years. That is a wealth of experience from which to draw. We've had the opportunity to watch literally hundreds of family businesses develop, expand, mature and then transition to the next generation. We're not tax or legal experts. We just know what has worked for other businesses, other families and other generations. Give us a call to set up a consultation! Thank you for considering Benchmark Agribusiness Inc. We look forward to meeting you!

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

Wainscoting isn’t a design element that can be directly tied to an increased house price. Despite that, it is a highly marketable element that can generate significant interest from potential buyers who enjoy the style, and is relatively inexpensive to remove for those who don’t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn’t result in depreciation of your home’s value—usually the opposite. 

Yes, appraisals are often used for property tax appeals, estate planning, and determining market value.

Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they’re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn’t a legal living space won’t affect your appraisal value.

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.
