"The process was easy, and pricing options were provided up fromt. They gave clear instructions about what they needed for the appraisal. They provided an appraisal quickly, with a nice turn around time. I would call this company again next I need an appraisal."

"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."

"Working with Ryan was an absolute pleasure and in my case made what could have been a real headache a breeze. I needed to sell a family condo from out of state as well as renovate the unit prior to the sale and Ryan was more than on top of it. From helping me work with the condo association as well as the local general contractor he made the entire process from start to finish seamless. When it came time to negotiating the sale, Ryan truly has his finger on the pulse of the market and closed the deal without a single issue. I would highly recommend Ryan Breeden to anyone in area looking to sell their property."

"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 FAQs, 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.

A comprehensive smart home system can be really attractive to buyers and increase the value of your property. Components such as a smart security system, smart lawn and garden systems, and smart appliances can all drive up the value of your property.

Land doesn’t depreciate in the same way that a house, vehicle, or other property does, but it can lose value based on various factors. Environmental changes, nearby development, zoning changes, and economic downturns can all cause land to lose value over time. Value is a comparative figure, so as other related factors change, so can land’s value.

Installing a flagpole can improve your home’s curb appeal, so it will often have a modest positive impact on your property value. You’ll see a much larger bump in property value if you install a custom wooden flagpole than you would if you install a standard aluminum pole. Adding lighting to your flagpole will also have a positive impact on home value, as will trimming trees away from the new lawn addition.

You can be present during a home appraisal, but it’s best to stay out of the appraiser’s way. Make yourself available, but don’t engage or interrupt, and don’t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.
