"James was great. Very professional. Gave him an impossible time frame. He did it and even took one day off my deadline. The appraisal was for divorce reasons, would have liked a more favorable result but it is what it is and was fair. I will recommend James and his organization to anyone needing his services."

"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."

"John was great! We had hired another appraisal from someone else and after two weeks realized we were never going to hear from him again so we turned to home advisor and couldn't be happier. After explaining our situation John was more than accommodating. We received the appraisal on time and as promised. Truely a great experience."

"When we first found Jeff, my wife and I were at our wits end.  We were first time homebuyers, and we felt that searching for our first home should be fun and exiciting.   Prior to meeting Jeff, we just felt stressed out and that everyone was out to take advantage of us, or that as buyers (and not sellers) we were not their top priority.  That all changed when we initially met with Jeff.  He is very passionate about what he does, and after our first meeting with him we finally felt excited.  

Jeff started with our ideal area, and worked out, which provided us with a daily report on any homes for sale in our ideal area.  Within one week we were contigent on an amzaing home in our ideal area at a fair price.  Jeff really knew the market, and got us a great price on our first home.  It was already appraised at several thousand dollars more than we purchased it for.  Further,  Jeff worked tirelessly throughout the whole process.   He was extemely responsive, and went above and beyond to keep us informed and satisfied at all times. For instance, if we had questions at 9 pm on a Sunday or any other weeknight, he would answer within a few minutes.  If you are buying a house, do yourself a favor and work with Jeff, and don't waste time with a different agent.  

Last but not least,  Jeff was able to give us an extememely competitive rate on our mortgage loan.  He was far and away the least expensive option.  At one point I even went to Chase Bank to get a competing quote, and when the loan officer there heard I was working with Jeff, he said "don't waste your time i never beat that guy.""

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Yes, built-in bookshelves can be worth the investment and can add value to your home, especially when constructed from high-quality, timeless materials like luxury hardwood. They offer a practical and stylish storage solution that utilizes wall space effectively. While they cost more than store-bought units, the custom fit and potential to increase your property's resale value make them a desirable feature for many buyers, particularly for homeowners with large book collections. For the best return on investment, consider having them professionally built.

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.

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.

Depending on the size of the home, the appraisal itself can take several hours. After the appraiser’s visit is complete, it can take between a few days and a few weeks to get the report back. This timeline is largely dependent on the appraiser’s workload, research requirements, efficiency, and other factors.

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.
