MJ/Johnson Appraisals is a fully licensed residential up to four units professional Real Estate appraisal company offering superior residential service. We provide fast and reliable service and take pride in the work we do.

"I highly recommend Mike! I sent a message through Angi, and literally within a few minutes, Mike responded to my message and called me as well. He quickly and efficiently worked with me to schedule a home appraisal that I wanted to use as part of my Cook County property tax appeal. He arrived on time as promised on the date even though we had our first snow of the season, and could not have been nicer. Mike delivered my appraisal ahead of the date we agreed on. His appraisal was thorough and the appraised value of our home is in line with current market values, and what we expected. If you need a home appraised, you definitely should contact Mike!"

"Had JS Appraisals appraise my house for a VA loan. James Reported that the house had not been updated for 15+ years. The house just had a new lifetime roof installed days before the appraisal. Also new counter tops in kitchen and bathroom. Complete repaint inside and out within three years. HVAC and Water Heater replaced 5 years ago. New carpet 3 years ago. Would not recommend."

Offering Home inspection, mold testing and real estate representative services. Quality, not cost should be your biggest concern when shopping for a home inspector, if you are looking for the cheapest then you may be disappointed with us. If you are looking a thorough inspector, who has your best interests as our main concern then give us a call. We don’t rush through your inspection to get to the next one like some of our competitors will. We are an independent licensed home inspection provider, which means you can guarantee a 100% honest and thorough inspection. We have you, the buyer's, best interests at hand and you can count on us to not over look items or include confusing language to “sugar coat” even the most petty findings. As a buyer you should be prepared and understand that every inspection performed will have deficiencies found, and no house will be perfect. But it is our duty as home inspectors to make you aware of ALL of the findings. We will categorize the deficiencies found but will let you decide what is your biggest concern. We have several companies that can provide radon or mold testing if necessary, both of which we use and trust. We offer home inspection services 7 days a week by appointment only. Please have a look in the photo gallery for sample screen shots of portions of our reports. We accept cash, Chase Quickpay, PayPal, credit cards (2.75% service charge) and personal checks, payment is due at the time of the inspection. I also provide real estate sales services and am associated with Real 1 Realty. With this service I can provide a home evaluation to your listing at no charge to you, please inquire in regards to these services.

"Vito is extremely thorough and goes over everything with you in detail. You can tell he has been doing this for a very long time and knows everything about home inspection"

"Mike Kozenko refused to take any responsibility for the errors on the appraisal I paid him $425 for. See the link for TYKE's pricing. He was a direct referral from the lender, so I did not think to check. Another scam by the dynamic duo as the lender who also turned out to be useless. Mike Kozenko told the lender in a group message that I was complaining, out of my mind, and that Mike Kozenko blocked me. I will also be happy to share screenshots, the appraisal, and any other information you'd like regarding said useless appraisal. 224-999-0799 [*** Link removed ***]"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

While there’s technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.

Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.

In most cases, you can expect home automation to boost your home value. This technology makes the homeowner’s life easier and more comfortable, and some provide increased safety and protection. Buyers will likely recognize value in security systems and utility monitors, as well as comfort-focused upgrades that save on electric bills while keeping interior rooms at the desired temperature and humidity. On average, you can expect a 50% and 75% return on investment on home automation services, and potentially even more if the automation reduces homeowner’s insurance.

Mobile homes weigh anywhere between 45 to 50 pounds per square foot. Some newer options weigh up to 70 pounds per square foot. An average single-wide mobile home weighs 45,000 pounds, and a double-wide mobile home weighs about 70,000 pounds. Triple-wide mobile homes range from 90,000 to 100,000 pounds.

Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they’ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.
