"My Appraiser Candy Watts was excellent. She informed me of what she was doing, she explained and answered all of my questions. Candy knew what she was doing, I would request for her again if and when I need another appraisal. I would like to also say Candy Watts was on time for the appoint that we set up as well. Thank you again Candy Watts for your help with this."

"The electrician did an excellent job. He spent extra time installing a ceiling fan using an alternate path because our furnace placement made it impossible to go from the attic. He did a great job putting the drywall back so no insulation would fall through. He insisted on cleaning up afterwards even though I said I d take care of it. I highly recommend this company."

"I consulted with several leading Real Estate firms in Northern Virginia to determine the best selling price for my home of all these firms Marc Dosik was the most knowledgeable about the current housing market which led to me selling my home for thousands of dollars more that had I gone with the other Real Estate firms. He also was the most organized and professional when it came to showing and closing on the property. If I was selling another property in Northern Virginia I clearly would call on Marc again."

"BJ was great to work with. He's always flexible with looking at properties and comes prepared with print outs of crucial information. My most recent purchase was a Fannie Mae owned property that required a lot of extra work and BJ was always up to the task.
 I would highly recommend using him!

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Depending on the size of the home, the appraisal itself can take several hours. After the appraiser’s visit is complete, it can take between a few days and a few weeks to get the report back. This timeline is largely dependent on the appraiser’s workload, research requirements, efficiency, and other factors.

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.

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.
