"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."

"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."

"I have worked with other management companies in the Twin Cities and NONE compare to the team at Mauzy. The value of their services is superior to the others. They are personable, responsive, accurate, and helpful. The most important thing when hiring a management company is their ability to attract quality tenants and keep them happy. Mauzy is a fantastic partner to my business and I can not recommend them enough. Save your time and money and make Chris and his team your first call."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Your home insurance company may allow you to use an appraisal instead of an inspection when you apply for coverage. Keep in mind that despite this, an appraisal is far less detailed than the different types of home inspections available and may not reveal potential risks that you’ll want to know about.

Some appraisers hold a Member of the Appraisal Institute designation. This accolade is the highest credential property appraisers can earn. An MAI appraisal is typically used for commercial properties.

While your lender will likely recommend an appraiser, you can also hire a professional home appraiser on your own. Choose someone who is experienced in your type of residential property, and ensure they hold all of the necessary credentials that your state or region requires.
