Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Yes, experienced appraisers handle a variety of property types with tailored methods.

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

The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.
