I can appraise anything that moves or can be moved. I can travel short or long distances,\n I have never been 2nd guessed or questioned on an appraisal. I have been doing appraisals\n for 12yrs. I can appraise at you location or I have done them at auctions or at business locations.\n Everyone that has purchased my services have been very satisfied and have told friends and \n neighbors about me. I do time wise appraisals but thorough, prices for appraisals is based on item or items to be appraised I am very efficient and thorough. I ask for a small % up front (good faith money by the client) and the rest when appraisal is complete and the client is satisfied with the results or payments can be worked out before appraisal is started as agreed to by both parties.\n I am available 24/7 by cell or landline phone or e-mail.

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

Your home insurance company may allow you to use an appraisal instead of an inspection when you apply for coverage. Keep in mind that despite this, an appraisal is far less detailed than the different types of home inspections available and may not reveal potential risks that you’ll want to know about.

Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.

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.
