"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."

"Thom, arrived at our home at the time he said he would. We received the full written appraisal exactly when we told we would have it. It was thorough, clear to read and to understand, the comps were very well matched, and the appraisal was very comprehensive. The day after receiving the appraisal, re-reading it over again, we had a few questions to ask Thom. We received a call back w/in a few hrs and were given ample time to ask all our questions and Thom gave us clear answers and we received full understanding of a few aspects of the appraisal. Highly recommend Maine Appraisal Company to anyone looking for a complete and thorough appraisal. Thom was a pleasure to work with."

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

An FHA appraisal is valid for 180 days from the effective date of the report. In some cases, you can have the appraisal recertified if you make your request before the original expires so that you still may obtain an FHA loan. If approved, your appraisal update is valid for one year.

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

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

While there’s technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.

The condition and appearance of your yard can affect your home appraisal value. A well-maintained, attractive yard with curb appeal adds to a property’s value, while an overgrown, messy, poorly maintained yard can hurt your home’s appraisal. Even small cosmetic improvements to your yard, like adding mulch, trimming trees, and cleaning out plant beds, can help your appraisal value.
