"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."

"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."

"Brian himself is so responsive to email, I sent him an email late night ang got his response first in the morning. He stopped by a day after (Thursday)with his marketplace predictions and a quick walk around of the property. Since we were in the chilling season along the 2022's ~9% inflation and high rates over 7%, he forecasted possible problems might come, hence he also introduced plans to approach the sale. His marketplace value of was exactly what I had predicted and what we closed our property for. Hence we signed papers, photographers came a couple of days later, and our property was on the market within a week (Thursday) with a very nice, complete and eye catching introduction. His team included Leah and Kristin. Kristin communicated promptly and late at nights and even on the weekends. Long story short, a couple of seeing in a the first day, and in the third day and 5th visit, we got an offer of we asked for. Closed and money wired to our bank by the end of month. I highly recommend him for sale, he is personally very calm and nice, truthful and professional, and has enough insights and back up plans to get the property sold!"

"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 questions, answered by experts

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.

Ideally, you’d never pay more than the appraised value for a home, but there are some instances where it makes sense to do so. For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you’re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.

The average cost for a home or property appraisal is about $355, with prices typically ranging from $250 to $500. The final cost is influenced by several factors, including the property's size, age, location, and how it compares to other homes in the area. Appraisals for larger, older, or non-conforming properties often cost more. While a single-family home appraisal usually costs between $300 and $400, appraising a multi-family home can range from $500 to $1,000 due to its increased size and complexity.

The condition and appearance of your yard can affect your home appraisal value. A well-maintained, attractive yard with curb appeal adds to a property’s value, while an overgrown, messy, poorly maintained yard can hurt your home’s appraisal. Even small cosmetic improvements to your yard, like adding mulch, trimming trees, and cleaning out plant beds, can help your appraisal value.

In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits—like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court—then your property taxes will be affected.
