"The company followed up on the appointment and was on-time for the appraisal. The report was delivered in a matter of days. I noticed a deficiency in the initial appraisal. I reached out to the appraiser, and the document was corrected and updated within 24 hours. Because of his excellent customer service, I rehired him to appraise another property."

Customers say: Quick response

"I had the pleasure of working with Keith Shaplin, the owner of Majestic Appraisals, and I must say, my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, Keith demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that truly sets him apart. First and foremost, scheduling with Keith was a breeze. He was incredibly easy to reach and accommodated my schedule with ease, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. But beyond just being easy to schedule, Keith's friendly and personable demeanor immediately put me at ease. He took the time to understand my needs and ensured that I felt comfortable throughout the appraisal process. When it comes to professionalism, Keith is a consummate pro. His work is not only timely but also incredibly fast and efficient, delivering results in a timely manner. And let's talk about value â Keith's services are very reasonably priced, offering top-notch quality without breaking the bank. The appraisal reports provided by Keith were exceptionally well-written, clear, and comprehensive. I was impressed by the professional finished product, complete with clear, high-definition photos that provided valuable insights into the property in question. What truly sets Keith apart, though, is his dedication to customer service. Even after the appraisal was complete, he remained available for any questions or concerns I had, demonstrating a level of commitment that goes above and beyond. In summary, working with Keith Shaplin and Majestic Appraisals was a five-star experience in every sense of the word. If you're in need of an appraiser who is not only highly skilled but also friendly, efficient, and dedicated to customer satisfaction, look no further than Keith. Highly recommended!"

"We hired Mr Haase to appraise the value of our home so one owner could buy the other one out. We needed a detailed and accurate assessment that took the various improvements we made into account, but didn't inflate the value for things that would not normally affect the sales price. Mr. Haase was quick and responsive, was able to do the appraisal right away and send his final report within a couple of days, the final report was fair and detailed, and the price was very affordable. We would recommend Mr Haase to anyone looking for the same."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

An FHA appraisal is valid for 180 days from the effective date of the report. In some cases, you can have the appraisal recertified if you make your request before the original expires so that you still may obtain an FHA loan. If approved, your appraisal update is valid for one year.

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.

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area. 

Foundation cracks won’t always affect your appraised value. All foundations crack due to normal settlement, so hairline cracks that aren’t leaking or uneven from side to side are unlikely to have an impact on your appraisal. Structural cracks, on the other hand, often lead to a reduced appraised value, especially if the underlying problem will cause the issue to worsen over time.

A koi pond may add value to your home if it’s a feature sellers are looking for. Like pools, ponds can affect your property value depending on their condition, whether they’re a popular selling point, and how well they’re incorporated into your home’s landscape.
