"My experience with Chicagoland valuation Group Inc was 100% satisfactory. Once I put the request on Angi I got 3 calls from different agents and Tom understand my situation and how urgent I needed this appraisal. He was so understanding and friendly and was able to get the appraisal by the time line I needed for in a matter of 24hrs. So if you need an appraisal Tom is your go to guy I 100% recommend anyone to hire him. Thank you for your business."

"I was very happy with my experience with this company and the way that they handled my situation. There were some unusual issues with this appraisal that made it more complicated than the usual. It was handled professionally and in a very efficient manner and I was very pleased with how friendly and knowledgeable Don was and how he put me at ease and offered me much more advice than just the appraisal required! He is a great guy and I appreciate his expertise and his willingness to help me in the short amount of time that I had to get this done ! I would recommend him without any hesitation!"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Yes, installing a tennis court can be a worthwhile home improvement project that adds value to your property. The potential increase in value can range from $20,000 to $150,000, and in some cases, the return on investment can cover more than 60% of the installation cost. However, the impact on value heavily depends on the size of your property. For homes with multiple acres, a tennis court is often a valuable amenity. In contrast, for homes on smaller lots, installing a court can decrease the property's value because it consumes a significant portion of the usable yard space. It's crucial to consider your property size and the remaining usable yard before proceeding.

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.

In short, yes, a pond can add to your home’s value. However, whether it adds value will depend on the condition and aesthetic of your pond. Having this feature already built into a yard’s home can be appealing to homebuyers who value its aesthetic and would prefer not to build it themselves. But if it is not kept in good condition, it could turn buyers away.

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.

The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.
