"I hired Jeffrey to give me an appraisal after I perform the number of upgrades on my home. Jeffrey was realistic, informative and very fair in his appraisal. I appreciated his willingness to walk me through the appraisal and to give me a true sense of the value of the property. I especially appreciated that he was conservative and fair. I'm certain this appraisal will stand the scrutiny of USDA and any Federal Bank. Sometimes appraisers work for the bank. I felt Jeffrey was protective of my interest. Jeffrey gave me confidence in me potential investment."

"My wife had actually found David on a home she purchased just before we started dating a few years back. I can be a bit of a skeptic and tend to do much more thorough research on things so I wasn't sure he would be the right agent for us.
I looked around, talked with other agents, even went on a few home tours with a couple, but none of them could compare to David's professionalism, expertise, personality, and communication. 
Every step of the way David was letting us know what to expect, how we should handle things, what we should be looking for, etc. He always kept line of communication open with us and was always quick to reply to any communication attempts. 
I admit that I am difficult to please when it comes to business relationships, I expect a high level of service just like I provide to my own clients. However, David met our expectations in every possible way.
It's not often I actually write reviews but David's service was that good...others deserve the level of service he provides and will not be let down.

"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."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.

The entire appraisal process takes from seven to 10 days. This timeline accounts for the many steps of the appraisal process, including the post-inspection report completed by the appraiser.

Home appraisal services include the following tasks:

  • Inspect home interior and exterior

  • Evaluate materials, features, fixtures, and renovations

  • Review comparable properties

  • Write an appraisal report

If installing board and batten fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn’t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home’s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home’s price won’t see a noticeable bump. 

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.
