"We found the Pickard Group through Angie’s List. My family was looking for a realtor who could help us determine what needed to be done in order to sell a family member’s condo. We had intended to interview 3 realtors, but when we met Ron, we knew we wouldn’t find anyone more qualified. The first time we met with Ron, we were several months away from signing a real estate contract, but, nonetheless, Ron went through the condo and provided us with a list of improvements (install granite countertops, install new carpet, remove wallpaper, paint walls, install brushed nickel light fixtures and door/cabinet hardware) that he felt would significantly increase the sales price. Ron also provided us with a list of contractors we could use for any work we were not going to do ourselves. We did use four of the contractors Ron recommended; all of them were reliable, reasonably priced, and flexible in scheduling their work hours so that the remodel could stay on schedule. The real estate listing was extremely thorough. The interior/exterior photos and, in particular, the virtual tour provided a comprehensive view of the condo. Ron was always available throughout the selling process. He was in contact by phone, mail, or e-mail at least once a week reporting in on what the office was doing in order to get the condo sold. He was also diligent in monitoring the listing and sales activity on other units in the condo subdivision."

"As I stated above, I hired Mr. Walsh to appraise my house because I was in the process of selling. He was accommodating in his scheduling. He was able to do the assessment within a few days and on the weekend. According to the tenant he showed up on time. That was where his professionalism ended. I asked him to please provide a sincere appraisal to aid in my decision making. Instead, I got the exact same price that was on the sales contract. He severely under appraised the house. Here was his explanation: “The report says: "Considering the subject's deferred maintenance and that it was sold in as is condition, the appraised value was taken from the contract sales price."” My response was “I knew what the contract sale price was. I set the price. I asked you to appraise the value of the property.” He knew before he went out to view the property that the property was listed ‘As Is’. If he didn’t and he thought that was going to be germane to the appraisal he could have asked. He wasted everyone’s time and my money appraising the house for what was the current asking price. He was also very rude and unprofessional in some of his responses. Do not hire Mr. Walsh. You can easily find someone more courteous with integrity and professionalism."

FAQs for property appraisal projects in Elburn, IL
An appraisal is an opinion of value, so anything that is expected to boost your home value is likely to work in your favor when it comes to the appraisal. Things like improving your curb appeal, painting, refinishing floors, and taking care of minor repairs are all good investments prior to ordering an appraisal. It’s also a good idea to clear out any clutter and complete a deep clean beforehand to show your property in the best light possible.
Appraisals aren’t required by law to complete a real estate transaction, but it’s unlikely that a lender will allow a buyer to close on a property without an appraisal, so, effectively, they are usually required. Your mortgage lender uses the property as collateral for your loan, and the appraisal is what the lender will base the mortgage on to confirm the value is there to justify their investment.
The average cost of a property appraisal is around $355, but different appraisers in your area could charge anywhere from $250 to $500. Appraisals for larger properties will often cost more, as will valuations for older properties. Appraisers will use homes in the surrounding area to help determine a valuation as well, so if your home doesn’t conform to the neighborhood standards, the valuation will require more work and will likely cost more.
A licensed appraiser is the only individual that can carry out a property appraisal. You should always check to ensure an appraiser you’re considering has the proper licensing from your state. Additionally, since an appraisal is meant to be an unbiased opinion of a property’s value, you should confirm that the appraiser doesn’t have ties to any other party in the sale of the property.
Anyone can hire a property appraiser to confirm the inherent value of a property, but the buyer or buyer’s lender will usually choose the appraiser and pay the individual for their opinion. It’s also not uncommon for the seller’s side in a real estate transaction to hire an appraiser in order to justify an asking price or negotiate a higher selling price.
