"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."

"My Appraiser Candy Watts was excellent. She informed me of what she was doing, she explained and answered all of my questions. Candy knew what she was doing, I would request for her again if and when I need another appraisal. I would like to also say Candy Watts was on time for the appoint that we set up as well. Thank you again Candy Watts for your help with this."

"Cindy helped us purchase a home in Alexandria when we were moving to the area from out of state. She was recommended by a colleague, and we were very happy with our experience with her. She is extremely energetic, and gives the impression that she loves what she does. Cindy listened to my initial ideas of the criteria we were looking for in a house, and once we started viewing houses she quickly picked up on what types of details my husband and I really liked and really disliked. She asked questions to clarify what type of compromises we might be willing to make, and when there were houses that seemed like good matches that we eliminated from our list, she asked additional questions in order to understand what the deal breakers were for us. She was very willing to point out potential issues and concerns in the houses we looked at - she was down on her hands and knees checking for damp, testing wood for rot, examining carpets, and looking at details of construction (like the type of cabinets and drawers in the kitchen). This honesty and engagement in the process is one of the things that we most valued about working with Cindy - we felt that if there was a big issue with a property, she would be sure to point it out to us. We absolutely felt that we could trust her to be our advocate at every step of the process. We were coming from out of town to look at houses, and Cindy spent one long Sunday and holiday Monday and another Sunday looking at houses with us. She worked really hard to arrange viewings at short notice and to fit the viewings into our constrained schedule. When we were ready to make an offer, she continued to work long hours to get the offer submitted quickly. She guided us in deciding how much to offer, and when the sellers responded and we were ready just to accept their counter, she pushed us to submit our own counter offer, which paid off, getting us a price that was much closer to our original target than we would have achieved without Cindy's help. After the inspection, Cindy helped us to put together and justify our request for a credit from the sellers to pay for needed repairs, and from there on out she checked in regularly up until the closing date. She, again, went out of her way to work with our travel schedule when we were arriving in town for the walk-through and closing, and after closing she checked in again a time or two to make sure everything was OK. I would certainly feel comfortable contacting her as a resource if any problems come up during our first few months in the house, and she has even offered advice as we prepare our old house for sale. We would definitely work with her again to buy or sell in the DC area."

Property Appraiser questions, 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.

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.

Estate shutters are considered a high-end window treatment that increases home value. As previously mentioned, this project comes with an ROI of up to 75%. Shutters can also improve your home’s energy efficiency, especially if you choose PVC or faux wood shutters, which will lead to long-term savings on your energy bills.

Mobile homes weigh anywhere between 45 to 50 pounds per square foot. Some newer options weigh up to 70 pounds per square foot. An average single-wide mobile home weighs 45,000 pounds, and a double-wide mobile home weighs about 70,000 pounds. Triple-wide mobile homes range from 90,000 to 100,000 pounds.

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.
