Customers say: Quality work

"When I contacted the Massachusetts Board of Real Estate Appraisers (MBREA) for their recommendations, two of the instructors on the board provided me with a list of six appraisers in my area and Rusty Harris was at the top of their recommendation list. The appraisal report that I received was both detailed and accurately describes the property. He provided additional details in the addendum of the report for substantiation. In addition, Rusty Harris extensive qualifications are listed in the report which adds further credibility. I found Rusty Harris to be professional and easy to work with, and the cost of the service to be competitive with other appraisals. Given the opportunity, I would likely use Harris Appraisal Services in the future."

"Yes, Eric answered our inquiry quickly. He was easy to talk with and helped ease the stress of not knowing what to set for a fair selling price. Eric was also able to show up in person to our property quickly and was obviously very familiar with our neighborhood. Our appraisal was completed on time. He included appropriate comparative listings. We are happy with his projected range of value for our property. We would recommend his services to anyone. Well done Eric!"

"The entire process could not have gone more smoothly.  I called Stephen and he returned my phone call within the hour.  I described the area that I wanted to have cleaned and he came out the next day to give me a free estimate.  His estimate was reasonable and he was able to accommodate my schedule by coming out to do the clean up the next week.  He arrived promptly at 8:00 am - the agreed upon time - to let me know that he was there and if there were any last minute changes to the job.

He did a fantastic job and cleared away all of the brush, debris, etc.  Even better, I was only to send the payment provided I was satisfied with his results!  Who does that these days??

I would recommend Stephen to anyone and will certainly use his services in the future."

FAQs for property appraisal projects in Reading, MA

An appraisal is an opinion of value, so anything that is expected to boost your home value is likely to work in your favor when it comes to the appraisal. Things like improving your curb appeal, painting, refinishing floors, and taking care of minor repairs are all good investments prior to ordering an appraisal. It’s also a good idea to clear out any clutter and complete a deep clean beforehand to show your property in the best light possible.

Appraisals aren’t required by law to complete a real estate transaction, but it’s unlikely that a lender will allow a buyer to close on a property without an appraisal, so, effectively, they are usually required. Your mortgage lender uses the property as collateral for your loan, and the appraisal is what the lender will base the mortgage on to confirm the value is there to justify their investment.

The average cost of a property appraisal is around $355, but different appraisers in your area could charge anywhere from $250 to $500. Appraisals for larger properties will often cost more, as will valuations for older properties. Appraisers will use homes in the surrounding area to help determine a valuation as well, so if your home doesn’t conform to the neighborhood standards, the valuation will require more work and will likely cost more.

A licensed appraiser is the only individual that can carry out a property appraisal. You should always check to ensure an appraiser you’re considering has the proper licensing from your state. Additionally, since an appraisal is meant to be an unbiased opinion of a property’s value, you should confirm that the appraiser doesn’t have ties to any other party in the sale of the property.

Anyone can hire a property appraiser to confirm the inherent value of a property, but the buyer or buyer’s lender will usually choose the appraiser and pay the individual for their opinion. It’s also not uncommon for the seller’s side in a real estate transaction to hire an appraiser in order to justify an asking price or negotiate a higher selling price.
