"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 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."

"The first time I contacted BJ was online through his website and I got an immediate response.  He referred me to a loan officer for pre-approval and we were looking at homes the same week.  5 years later and he's still on top of his game.  This knowledgeable and experienced real estate agent is dedicated, courteous, very patient, and great to work with.  He keeps the momentum going with everyone he contacts, does follow-ups, and always keeps me up-to-date with what is going on.  I would have to say that the highlight of my experience was me and BJ working to get an offer in the same day that the property was listed...which as it turned out got accepted the very next day.  Thanks to all of his hard work and effort, I made it through settlement smoothly and my mortgage payment is A LOT less than what my rent was (which would have gone up $150 had I renewed...um, no thanks).  So all-in-all I am happy with my purchase and I am glad to have had BJ as my realtor.  If I ever decide to sell my home, I will definitely be back in touch with him.

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, hire another appraiser to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn’t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.

While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location’s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. 

The cost to appraise a home depends on the type. Common types include:

  • Single-family homes: $300–$400

  • FHA or VA single-family homes: $400–$500

  • Condominium: $300–$500

  • Multi-family home: $500–$1,000

  • Apartment building: $1,500–$3,000

  • Commercial properties: $1,400–$10,000

  • Raw land: $1,000–$8,000

Costs depend on the property size, audit complexity, and whether additional testing (e.g., blower door) is included.

Estate shutters are considered a high-end window treatment that increases home value. As previously mentioned, this project comes with an ROI of up to 75%. Shutters can also improve your home’s energy efficiency, especially if you choose PVC or faux wood shutters, which will lead to long-term savings on your energy bills.
