"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."

"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

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.

You can be present during a home appraisal, but it’s best to stay out of the appraiser’s way. Make yourself available, but don’t engage or interrupt, and don’t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.

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.

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.

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.
