"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."

"I had the pleasure of working with Keith Shaplin, the owner of Majestic Appraisals, and I must say, my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, Keith demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that truly sets him apart. First and foremost, scheduling with Keith was a breeze. He was incredibly easy to reach and accommodated my schedule with ease, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. But beyond just being easy to schedule, Keith's friendly and personable demeanor immediately put me at ease. He took the time to understand my needs and ensured that I felt comfortable throughout the appraisal process. When it comes to professionalism, Keith is a consummate pro. His work is not only timely but also incredibly fast and efficient, delivering results in a timely manner. And let's talk about value â Keith's services are very reasonably priced, offering top-notch quality without breaking the bank. The appraisal reports provided by Keith were exceptionally well-written, clear, and comprehensive. I was impressed by the professional finished product, complete with clear, high-definition photos that provided valuable insights into the property in question. What truly sets Keith apart, though, is his dedication to customer service. Even after the appraisal was complete, he remained available for any questions or concerns I had, demonstrating a level of commitment that goes above and beyond. In summary, working with Keith Shaplin and Majestic Appraisals was a five-star experience in every sense of the word. If you're in need of an appraiser who is not only highly skilled but also friendly, efficient, and dedicated to customer satisfaction, look no further than Keith. Highly recommended!"

"We hired Mr Haase to appraise the value of our home so one owner could buy the other one out. We needed a detailed and accurate assessment that took the various improvements we made into account, but didn't inflate the value for things that would not normally affect the sales price. Mr. Haase was quick and responsive, was able to do the appraisal right away and send his final report within a couple of days, the final report was fair and detailed, and the price was very affordable. We would recommend Mr Haase to anyone looking for the same."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

While there’s technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.

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.

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.

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). 

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.
