Customers say: Quick response

"Dear Angie, thank you for the listings! Mr. Barlock was the first professional who responded in record time to my search for Appraisers. Within the half hour after my recommendations were received, Mr. Barlock messaged me with a professional greeting informing me of his services and contact information. There was no pressure, but an offer of professional service. Upon direct contact, Mr. Barlock was extremely knowledgeable, communicative, informative, and his expertise demonstratively competent. He helped me understand a few things about my dwelling that I did not know (Thank you so much!)! His assessment also gave me a better view of what's going on in my neighborhood regarding values and sales (Awesome)! I enjoyed learning and observing the process. I also have an abundance of analytical data with which to move forward with. If you are seeking a seasoned professional who is everything you hope for and more, then Mr. Barlock is your Appraiser of choice. Ms. El"

"I am a 100% satisfied first time First Advantage customer. Wade arrived on time, was very thorough with his home inspection, highly professional and pleasantly very personable as well. I did a lot of research prior to hiring First Advantage and could not be any happier with both the business experience and my very comprehensive highly detailed home appraisal that was emailed to me promptly as promised the very next day in PDF format and by request, a complementary mailed printed copy was included as well. If anyone needs an honest and accurate very comprehensive professional home appraisal, I highly recommend hiring this second-to-none in the industry home appraisal company. Thanks Wade. It was a genuine pleasure doing business with you. If I ever need another home appraisal or meet anyone else who needs one, expect to hear back from me or them again. Best wishes to you and your family."

"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."

"David was wonderful! I needed an appraisal for estate tax purposes and he obliged to get one to me within 2 weeks although I really did not need it until end of this year. The pricing was very fair and he was thoughtful enough to send me a copy of his state license as well as his appraisers insurance policy before I needed to ask. That is quality customer service. Would I recommend using David? YES! Would I use his service again in the future? YES!"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. 

In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.

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.

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. 

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 purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You’re generally responsible for the cost if you need to know the current value of your home to refinance your mortgage, though in some instances the lender will pay for it. The buyer pays for the appraisal when they are applying for their mortgage.
