"Tim was great. Very friendly, punctual, good customer service. The actual property appraisal itself (very subjective in nature), I felt, was quite low in value compared to what I expected. I was expecting my property to appraise much higher. Thankfully, I stuck with my gut when listing my home for sale."

"Kyle did a great job. He came in with a credible appraisal that allowed us to avoid an outrageously high proposed increase in valuation. We were the able to work with the city to agree on a "concurrence" - an agreed valuation. He also was very respectful of us and our property while doing the appraisal."

"We chose Tom Ahles because of our unusual and unique circumstance as a business owner. Our financing process required a non-traditional analysis of how we operate our finances. Tom held our hand in coaching us through the process, over explained every question we had, and did so in an informative manner. We had a time crunch, Tom managed it, we had unique accounts, yet Tom was capable of making it work. I appreciate Tom, and you will feel proud when you contract his team for your mortgage service, they're all professional - timely - and approachable."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they’re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn’t a legal living space won’t affect your appraisal value.

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.

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.

The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.

Typically during transactions or refinancing, or whenever significant improvements are made.
