"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 called four certified home appraisers to find out their pricing and Brian Douglas Morgan called me back almost immediately quoted me a fair price and was able to schedule me within a couple of days on a Friday. Brian showed up and was professional, considerate of the carpeting and the furnishing. He took photos of everything and had the appraisal back to me over the weekend. Very happy with his service, thoroughness and professionalism."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Yes, the age of your home can impact its value. However, age is just one of many factors that will have an effect. An older home may be perceived as needing more work and maintenance, but if you’ve kept up with repairs or done any renovations, this will increase its value. Buyers will also consider the size of the house, location, and how nearby homes are priced. Lastly, value also depends on whether it’s a buyer or seller’s market.

Estate shutters are considered a high-end window treatment that increases home value. As previously mentioned, this project comes with an ROI of up to 75%. Shutters can also improve your home’s energy efficiency, especially if you choose PVC or faux wood shutters, which will lead to long-term savings on your energy bills.

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.

Appraisals can come in above or below the list price or offer price for a property, and where it falls depends on many factors. Those include the condition of the property, the location, and the age of the home, but often, the condition of the market is the biggest determining factor. Where demand is high for properties, buyers compete with each other for homes, which tends to drive up offer prices above where appraisals come in. Where demand is low, you’ll often see the opposite happening.

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.
