"Hired to do valuation of a manufactured home - not on land. Gave appraisal comparison properties included land. therefore not an accurate valuation. Thought salesperson understood nuance."
" In the past, I was always a little wary of companies that made these kinds of offers - I didn't think that they could really do very much about property taxes.
But I was referred to Andrea Raila by my neighbor, so I thought I would give them a try.
I contacted them by phone and gave them the information about our property. They explained how the process worked, and sent forms out to me for signature. I signed the forms and sent them back and that was it. Upon receiving the reduction in taxes, I got a letter telling me the good news. We were very pleased with the outcome! We were also told that they felt that we could get a further reduction for the next year's taxes.
This company knows what they are doing and we will certainly use them in the future. All in all, this is a very professional organization and I would recommend their services to anyone."

The average cost for a home or property appraisal is about $355, with prices typically ranging from $250 to $500. The final cost is influenced by several factors, including the property's size, age, location, and how it compares to other homes in the area. Appraisals for larger, older, or non-conforming properties often cost more. While a single-family home appraisal usually costs between $300 and $400, appraising a multi-family home can range from $500 to $1,000 due to its increased size and complexity.
