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

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area. 

Yes, home appraisers look at your windows when appraising your property to determine the market value of your home. They’ll factor in the type of windows, quality, condition, whether or not there are screens covering the windows, frame materials, size, insulation, and more to come up with an unbiased property assessment.

As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. 

In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.

The cost to appraise a home depends on the type. Common types include:

  • Single-family homes: $300–$400

  • FHA or VA single-family homes: $400–$500

  • Condominium: $300–$500

  • Multi-family home: $500–$1,000

  • Apartment building: $1,500–$3,000

  • Commercial properties: $1,400–$10,000

  • Raw land: $1,000–$8,000

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).
