I have used her service numerous times to have my assessment appealed on my house. The tax saved for 3 years of the assessment cycle with the second installment of my 2014 real estate tax bill is $2557.59. They are very professional and would recommend them to reduce your taxes. My brother who owns two apartment buildings also has used their services. Angie's List had a $50.00 coupon off of their services which reduced my fee to $291.04.

"Mr. Thompson appeared to be conscientious in his overall approach to obtaining as much information as possible on the existing exterior of the property by measuring and photographing the area. His quick walk thru of the interior was simple and painless with very few questions resulting in an average rating of the overall property. I would encourage others to fully engage anyone they hire to provide a "true" snapshot and spend more time exploring the interior/exterior in total before rendering an "average" opinion."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Yes, awnings can add value to a home, primarily by boosting its curb appeal and providing more usable outdoor space. While the exact monetary return on investment depends on the awning's size, style, and quality, they offer an excellent appeal factor to potential buyers. For example, an awning with a trendy metal roof can be particularly attractive. Even if the direct increase in resale value is modest, a well-chosen awning enhances the home's functionality and aesthetic.

Ideally, you’d never pay more than the appraised value for a home, but there are some instances where it makes sense to do so. For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you’re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.

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.

The cost to appraise a home depends on the type. Common types include:

  • Single-family homes: $300–$400

  • FHA or VA single-family homes: $400–$500

  • Condominium: $300–$500

  • Multi-family home: $500–$1,000

  • Apartment building: $1,500–$3,000

  • Commercial properties: $1,400–$10,000

  • Raw land: $1,000–$8,000

As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. 

In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.
