"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."

"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

The purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You’re generally responsible for the cost if you need to know the current value of your home to refinance your mortgage, though in some instances the lender will pay for it. The buyer pays for the appraisal when they are applying for their mortgage.

While there's not a lot of definite research, some experts suggest that an in-ground or wall-mounted basketball hoop can add value to your home by increasing curb appeal. In addition, having a basketball hoop is an attractive feature of a house since it promotes physical activity, especially for children.

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.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.

The cost to appraise a home depends on the type. Common types include:

  • Single-family homes: $300–$400

  • FHA or VA single-family homes: $400–$500

  • Condominium: $300–$500

  • Multi-family home: $500–$1,000

  • Apartment building: $1,500–$3,000

  • Commercial properties: $1,400–$10,000

  • Raw land: $1,000–$8,000
