"Worst experience ever. My recent review must have been deleted. This man came to my house without even measuring the square footage of my property. He stated the wrong sq ft on the report and the wrong number of bathrooms and he refused to answer my calls or texts thereafter. His opinion about my property was $233,000 in August. Another company valued my property at $260,000 in September as the new company was very meticulous. I will not recommend JB Appraisal due to his incompetence, lousy, and biased report. I do not think this only happened to me. The most awful appraisal ever. Please save yourself any stress. Do not do business with JB Appraisal."

"The square footage in our appraisal was significantly incorrect, and when I pointed it out, backed it up with evidence. the only change made was swapping out one comp ? with no explanation for how nearly 400 sq ft of over-reported space would not reduce the value. I explained he could come remeasure and that was ignored. I even provided better comps at the appraiser?s request, but those were ignored as well. My final email addressing the valuation issues was never acknowledged. It has now been nearly a week with no response. This cost me time and money, and then we had to hire a second appraiser to correct the mistakes. Truly a frustrating and unprofessional experience to work with this appraiser."

"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. "

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Home and property appraisals cost about $355 on average, ranging from $250 to $500, depending on the size of the home and property, age of the property, comparability to nearby homes, and location. While single-family homes typically cost between $300 and $400 to appraise, multi-family home appraisal can cost $500 to $1,000 due to the increased size and building complexity.

Yes, a tennis court can potentially add significant value to your home. The increase can be anywhere from $20,000 to $150,000.

While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location’s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. 

Foundation cracks won’t always affect your appraised value. All foundations crack due to normal settlement, so hairline cracks that aren’t leaking or uneven from side to side are unlikely to have an impact on your appraisal. Structural cracks, on the other hand, often lead to a reduced appraised value, especially if the underlying problem will cause the issue to worsen over time.

Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room).
