"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."

"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

Appraisals are not mandatory but are helpful for pricing accuracy and negotiation purposes.

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.

Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.

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.

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