"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."

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

  • Condominium: $300–$500

  • Raw land: $1,000–$8,000

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

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.

Yes, appraisals are often used for property tax appeals, estate planning, and determining market value.

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.
