"Hired to do valuation of a manufactured home - not on land. Gave appraisal comparison properties included land. therefore not an accurate valuation. Thought salesperson understood nuance."

"Ryan is indeed an excellent agent, period! My husband and I are first-time home buyers. We basically knew nothing about the process by the time we started. Ryan just helped us find our dream home. I can't say enough about how professional and friendly he is. We went tour at least 20 properties, and Ryan was always very patient, and informative. He pointed out the problems without we asking about them, and he kept telling us to take our time until we are absolutely in love with a house. Our home hunting lasted over four months. Ryan kept us updated about the properties on the market (even coming soon) that meet our needs promptly. By the time we finally found the one, Ryan literally did everything he can to help us get the best deal possible. The seller and his agent weren't very responsive. It took a week for the seller to sign the contract after they accepted our offer (probably because Ryan negotiated us such a great deal). My husband and I got pretty nervous about the whole deal falling apart, but again, Ryan saved the world! Ryan did everything possible to keep this deal move forward. Once we were under contract, the whole process went very smoothly. Ryan helped us every step of the way, we were even able to close early. I know a lot of the buyers think about the rebate from a real estate agent. We did too, at the very beginning. The fact is, Ryan may not give the same rebate as a Redfin agent, but I think the best decision I ever made is to have Ryan as our agent. The service you get from Ryan is completely at a different level. We talked to Redfin agents too, and in our case, the seller had a Redfin agent. The way they operate is to have different people handle different steps of the home-buying/selling transaction. And they were not very good at keeping relevant people informed. We had a couple of hiccups because the seller's agent did even know what's going on since some associates in Redfin were working on the case without keeping him informed. Anyway, it not worth taking these troubles to get the refund. When it comes to negotiation, it could easily be several thousands of dollars we are looking at, and that's when you need an excellent agent to help you save money. Luckily we have Ryan, who is very good at it. I would recommend Ryan to anyone who is looking for a real estate agent."

"I wasn’t rushing into my home purchase and David was patient during the two years it took to land my home. I wasn’t sure what I wanted at the outset and David encouraged me to see a variety of property types and conditions. That helped hone in on what I wanted and we submitted a couple of offers  along the way. The whole experience informed me of what was important to me and emphasized the need to act fast. So when a home I really liked went on the market just as I was headed out of town, David and I developed a strategy to make sure I didn’t lose out. Six months later and I still smile and think how much I love my new home every time I open the front door. (And I have great neighbors, too.) On top of his real estate expertise and familiarity with the area, David also leverages the technology to complete a contract quickly online. He took the time to answer every question and really walked me through the home-buying process."

"My husband and I expressed an interest in a particular neighborhood that is often in high demand to Mary Schaner, knowing that it may be quite some time before a house became available. Mary kept us in mind and each time there was a listing, she called us to let us take a look. Her patience was? appreciated and finally, after a lot of thought, we decided to purchase a house Mary found for us. She went above and beyond, working with us so that we could get what we felt was a fair purchase price, even convincing the seller to allow our contingency. It was a competitive situation, but Mary worked with us diligently. After a long couple of months waiting for our house to sell, we finally settled on the house and neighborhood we had been dreaming about. I'm convinced that none of this would have happened if Mary hadn't taken the time to keep in touch with us, staying on top of the market in our neighborhood of choice. I highly recommend Mary Schaner - a more friendly, conscientious and driven agent can't be found."

"I recently hired the Jackson Appraisal Group to help me reduce my property tax bill and I couldn't be happier with the results. The appraiser was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient throughout the process. From the initial consultation, Christian Jackson listened carefully to my concerns and explained the process in a way that was easy to understand. They also provided valuable insights into the local real estate market and helped me understand how my property fit into that market. As the appraisal process moved forward, Christian was always prompt in responding to my questions and requests for updates. He provided thorough and detailed reports that clearly explained the value of my property and how it was determined. Ultimately, the appraisal helped me successfully appeal my property tax bill and resulted in a significant reduction in the amount I owed. I would highly recommend Jackson Appraisal Group to anyone looking to reduce their property tax bill or simply get a better understanding of the value of their property."

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, appraisals are often used for property tax appeals, estate planning, and determining market value.

Land doesn’t depreciate in the same way that a house, vehicle, or other property does, but it can lose value based on various factors. Environmental changes, nearby development, zoning changes, and economic downturns can all cause land to lose value over time. Value is a comparative figure, so as other related factors change, so can land’s value.

Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). 

Yes, built-in bookshelves can be worth the investment and can add value to your home, especially when constructed from high-quality, timeless materials like luxury hardwood. They offer a practical and stylish storage solution that utilizes wall space effectively. While they cost more than store-bought units, the custom fit and potential to increase your property's resale value make them a desirable feature for many buyers, particularly for homeowners with large book collections. For the best return on investment, consider having them professionally built.

The cost ranges from $300 to $500, depending on the property's size and location. Due to their complexity, commercial appraisals may cost more.
