"I contacted Distinctive Painting through Angie's List, and Mario called me back promptly to make an appointment to come to my home.  We settled on a day and time to view the stained ceilings on the first floor of my townhouse (due to ice dam damage) and give me an estimate.  He arrived on time, looked at what needed to be done, and told me he would e-mail me a written estimate within a few days.  However, I received the estimate the very next day, and thought it was very fair.  Since it was a very busy time of the year for him, he said he could only give me an approximate date to do the work which was the first or second week of July.  Once again, Mario was ahead of schedule, and he contacted me to make an appointment for Friday, July 3.  He and Jay arrived on time at 8:00 A.M., and by 2:00 P.M., the painting was completed.  They were meticulous in making sure all my furniture, counters, etc. were well covered, and helped me move all the breakable items out of harm's way.  The finished ceilings looked beautiful, and I was very pleased with their work, friendliness, and professionalism.  I highly recommend this company, and would most definitely use them again.

"The Deal was vague and did not explain that it did not include simple carpentry.  I did send them pictures 3 weeks ago letting them know what I needed done, and they didn't let me know until yesterday that this was not a handyman job.  They were very polite.  They were also very willing to work with me.  They suggested adding $200 additionally to get a carpenter, for what I needed."

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

Some appraisers hold a Member of the Appraisal Institute designation. This accolade is the highest credential property appraisers can earn. An MAI appraisal is typically used for commercial properties.

While your lender will likely recommend an appraiser, you can also hire a professional home appraiser on your own. Choose someone who is experienced in your type of residential property, and ensure they hold all of the necessary credentials that your state or region requires.

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.

In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that’s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it’s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn’t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you’d spend coordinating the repairs.

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.

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.
