"James was great. Very professional. Gave him an impossible time frame. He did it and even took one day off my deadline. The appraisal was for divorce reasons, would have liked a more favorable result but it is what it is and was fair. I will recommend James and his organization to anyone needing his services."

"Swanson appraisals are one of the best firms in the country. Iâ ve been in the industry for 26 years and wish I could use them in every state.

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Typically during transactions or refinancing, or whenever significant improvements are made.

Yes, appraisals are often used for property tax appeals, estate planning, and determining market value.

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.

Appraisals can come in above or below the list price or offer price for a property, and where it falls depends on many factors. Those include the condition of the property, the location, and the age of the home, but often, the condition of the market is the biggest determining factor. Where demand is high for properties, buyers compete with each other for homes, which tends to drive up offer prices above where appraisals come in. Where demand is low, you’ll often see the opposite happening.

While some aspects of an appraisal, such as comparable properties nearby, are out of your control, there are several steps you can take to potentially increase your home's value. Make any necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser's visit, as they can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. Examples include renovating older areas, updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, and staging your home. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades, which may increase your home's value by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.
