"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."

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.

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.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.

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.
