"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."

"Jeff quickly got me pre-approved for a mortgage so I could target a price range. He recommended Chicago neighborhoods based on my budget and transportation needs. We worked together to identify potential houses online and then found a few that deserved a closer look. He arranged a day and time to tour the houses and met me at each location. As we looked at the properties he was able to point out signs of water damage and other attributes that a buyer would want to be aware of. Within weeks I found a house in my price range that exceeded my expectations. He negotiated a good price for me and was even able to recommend a home inspector and lawyer. Jeff walked me through every step of the process, was quick to answer my e-mail messages and was professional in all respects."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location’s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. 

While there's not a lot of definite research, some experts suggest that an in-ground or wall-mounted basketball hoop can add value to your home by increasing curb appeal. In addition, having a basketball hoop is an attractive feature of a house since it promotes physical activity, especially for children.

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.

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.

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.
