"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 worked with Tom at Edge Home Finance after our first lender gave us some difficulty with the appraisal. Tom coordinated a new appraisal and had the loan ready to close in record time. There weren't any snags in the underwriting process and communication was fast and accurate."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Yes, the age of your home can impact its value. However, age is just one of many factors that will have an effect. An older home may be perceived as needing more work and maintenance, but if you’ve kept up with repairs or done any renovations, this will increase its value. Buyers will also consider the size of the house, location, and how nearby homes are priced. Lastly, value also depends on whether it’s a buyer or seller’s market.

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

Appraisals can come in above or below the list price or offer price for a property, and where it falls depends on many factors. Those include the condition of the property, the location, and the age of the home, but often, the condition of the market is the biggest determining factor. Where demand is high for properties, buyers compete with each other for homes, which tends to drive up offer prices above where appraisals come in. Where demand is low, you’ll often see the opposite happening.

Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). 

In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, hire another appraiser to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn’t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.
