"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."

"Mr. Wallace was very responsive and took every aspect of the property into consideration before he completed the appraisal. My husband and I were very satisfied with his work. We believe, considering the condition of the property, that the appraised value is fair and reasonable."

"Ryan is indeed an excellent agent, period! My husband and I are first-time home buyers. We basically knew nothing about the process by the time we started. Ryan just helped us find our dream home. I can't say enough about how professional and friendly he is. We went tour at least 20 properties, and Ryan was always very patient, and informative. He pointed out the problems without we asking about them, and he kept telling us to take our time until we are absolutely in love with a house. Our home hunting lasted over four months. Ryan kept us updated about the properties on the market (even coming soon) that meet our needs promptly. By the time we finally found the one, Ryan literally did everything he can to help us get the best deal possible. The seller and his agent weren't very responsive. It took a week for the seller to sign the contract after they accepted our offer (probably because Ryan negotiated us such a great deal). My husband and I got pretty nervous about the whole deal falling apart, but again, Ryan saved the world! Ryan did everything possible to keep this deal move forward. Once we were under contract, the whole process went very smoothly. Ryan helped us every step of the way, we were even able to close early. I know a lot of the buyers think about the rebate from a real estate agent. We did too, at the very beginning. The fact is, Ryan may not give the same rebate as a Redfin agent, but I think the best decision I ever made is to have Ryan as our agent. The service you get from Ryan is completely at a different level. We talked to Redfin agents too, and in our case, the seller had a Redfin agent. The way they operate is to have different people handle different steps of the home-buying/selling transaction. And they were not very good at keeping relevant people informed. We had a couple of hiccups because the seller's agent did even know what's going on since some associates in Redfin were working on the case without keeping him informed. Anyway, it not worth taking these troubles to get the refund. When it comes to negotiation, it could easily be several thousands of dollars we are looking at, and that's when you need an excellent agent to help you save money. Luckily we have Ryan, who is very good at it. I would recommend Ryan to anyone who is looking for a real estate agent."

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, built-in bookshelves can be worth the investment and can add value to your home, especially when constructed from high-quality, timeless materials like luxury hardwood. They offer a practical and stylish storage solution that utilizes wall space effectively. While they cost more than store-bought units, the custom fit and potential to increase your property's resale value make them a desirable feature for many buyers, particularly for homeowners with large book collections. For the best return on investment, consider having them professionally built.

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. 

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.

While some aspects of an appraisal, such as comparable properties nearby, are out of your control, there are several steps you can take to potentially increase your home's value. Make any necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser's visit, as they can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. Examples include renovating older areas, updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, and staging your home. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades, which may increase your home's value by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.

Yes, the age of your home can impact its value. However, age is just one of many factors that will have an effect. An older home may be perceived as needing more work and maintenance, but if you’ve kept up with repairs or done any renovations, this will increase its value. Buyers will also consider the size of the house, location, and how nearby homes are priced. Lastly, value also depends on whether it’s a buyer or seller’s market.
