"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

Ensures accurate valuation reflecting current market conditions, assisting in financial decisions.

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.

In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that’s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it’s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn’t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you’d spend coordinating the repairs.

Yes, awnings can add value to a home, primarily by boosting its curb appeal and providing more usable outdoor space. While the exact monetary return on investment depends on the awning's size, style, and quality, they offer an excellent appeal factor to potential buyers. For example, an awning with a trendy metal roof can be particularly attractive. Even if the direct increase in resale value is modest, a well-chosen awning enhances the home's functionality and aesthetic.

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.
