"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."

"Jeff was extremely professional and well informed. I was buying a property in Chicago, Il, however I live in California, so his help was extremely valuable during the process of purchasing. He was able to guide me and negotiate a reasonable price for my condo as well as help direct me through the Chicago buying process. He was always responsive and provided details I would never have thought of. I recommend him highly! Thank you, Jeff!"

"I purchased a big deal for handyman services by Chicago estate and retail. Jose and his son were excellent! They were punctual, courteous.and skilled. While Jose's son assembled a bench for my entryway, Jose worked on repairing a cracked wooden door in the guest bedroom. Jose applied wood filler in the crack and then painted over it. The door looks great! Jose then installed crank handles on my kitchen windows. Lastly, Jose looked at the cracked paint on the window and door casements throughout my house as well as some damaged drywall, and quoted a very fair price for the work. I highly recommend Jose and his son and will definitely use them for my next home project.

"February 10th my apartment burnt down and I lost everything. For over 2 weeks I bounced around from place place not knowing where I would permanently lay my head. Needless to say I was a nervous wreck. I got lucky and met Al Ramirez from Fundamental Properties. He worked with me and help me secure an apartment. If it were not for him personally I honestly don't know where I would be!"

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they’re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn’t a legal living space won’t affect your appraisal value.

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.

Costs depend on the property size, audit complexity, and whether additional testing (e.g., blower door) is included.

If installing board and batten fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn’t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home’s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home’s price won’t see a noticeable bump. 

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.
