"My experience with Chicagoland valuation Group Inc was 100% satisfactory. Once I put the request on Angi I got 3 calls from different agents and Tom understand my situation and how urgent I needed this appraisal. He was so understanding and friendly and was able to get the appraisal by the time line I needed for in a matter of 24hrs. So if you need an appraisal Tom is your go to guy I 100% recommend anyone to hire him. Thank you for your business."

"Well written appraisal comparing my property to others that sold in the area. The report included not just comparisons of other properties but much information from local and county records. The appraiser took special care to evaluate not just the current property value but also the estimated value from the late 1990's when my dad died. This was a great tax savings. Definitely a 5 star appraisal."

"I was very happy with my experience with this company and the way that they handled my situation. There were some unusual issues with this appraisal that made it more complicated than the usual. It was handled professionally and in a very efficient manner and I was very pleased with how friendly and knowledgeable Don was and how he put me at ease and offered me much more advice than just the appraisal required! He is a great guy and I appreciate his expertise and his willingness to help me in the short amount of time that I had to get this done ! I would recommend him without any hesitation!"

"Tom McNeeley did an appraisal of my home for a property tax appeal before the Illinois property tax appeal aboard (PTAB) and provided expert testimony supporting his appraisal at the appeal hearing before the administrative law judge (ALJ). His appraisal was comprehensive and fair and his testimony before the ALJ was thorough and skillful. Tom was very accommodative with his time and was easy to work with. I thought his fee for the appraisal and for his expert testimony were very fair. I highly recommend using McNeeley Appraisals, particularly with respect to property tax cases."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

The purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You’re generally responsible for the cost if you need to know the current value of your home to refinance your mortgage, though in some instances the lender will pay for it. The buyer pays for the appraisal when they are applying for their mortgage.

Depending on the size of the home, the appraisal itself can take several hours. After the appraiser’s visit is complete, it can take between a few days and a few weeks to get the report back. This timeline is largely dependent on the appraiser’s workload, research requirements, efficiency, and other factors.

While there's not a lot of definite research, some experts suggest that an in-ground or wall-mounted basketball hoop can add value to your home by increasing curb appeal. In addition, having a basketball hoop is an attractive feature of a house since it promotes physical activity, especially for children.

The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.

A property valuation, sometimes called a comparative market analysis or CMA, provides a real estate expert’s opinion on how much your property will sell for. It takes many things into consideration, like the condition and location of the home, but ultimately, all that matters for a property valuation is what a buyer might be willing to pay for the property. An appraisal is more concerned with determining the value. A valuation is to estimate what you’ll get for a property, while an appraisal helps a lender establish loan-to-value ratios and loan amounts.
