21 EMPLOYEES. NO SUBS. COST DETERMINED BY THE JOB. ADDITIONAL SERVICE AREA-PORTIONS OF WRIGHT, CHISAGO, GOODHUE, ISANTI, RICE & SHERBURNE COUNTIES.
"I received a recent appraisal from Ronald Retzer at BCL Appraisals. While the market is, not arguably, rapidly growing values, Ron decided to take it upon himself to manipulate the market. This is, from his standpoint, a reasonable thing for him to do, and who am I to say that it isn't? No one. The problem I have is the methodology in which Ron is going about this. We received the appraisal within the legal timing (2 weeks from request submission), we submitted a rebuttal due to the (only, usually 5) 3 comps being significantly different and far away (the closest was ~8 miles away). This rebuttal took him SIX days to respond to only to not budge an inch on his 9% low appraisal. If I could write a worse review of how unprofessional that behavior is I would. The appraisal was way out of line with the market and could devastate a real estate deal but the professionalism and lack of urgency are egregious and unacceptable."

"We had the opportunity to work with Billy Pauling of the Pauling Homes Team as I was relocating to the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. My wife and I had a litany of wish list items and Billy listened to EVERY last detail. He provided us listings immediately that met our needs offered potential remedies if every box wasn’t checked. I had a window for about 24 hours about a week later to meet with my future employer. Billy blocked out his schedule for a few hours in the evening and the following morning to show us houses that nailed our wish list. There was no settling for us. We had multiple PERFECT options! As we were 800 miles away, Billy went above and beyond to represent us for a walkthrough with the builder. He conveyed info from meeting and house was pristine at turnover. Billy is a “five star” realtor with his clients needs at the top of his mind. He takes service to a level rarely seen in today’s world. I gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor in the MSP area!"

An appraisal is an opinion of value, so anything that is expected to boost your home value is likely to work in your favor when it comes to the appraisal. Things like improving your curb appeal, painting, refinishing floors, and taking care of minor repairs are all good investments prior to ordering an appraisal. It’s also a good idea to clear out any clutter and complete a deep clean beforehand to show your property in the best light possible.
Appraisals aren’t required by law to complete a real estate transaction, but it’s unlikely that a lender will allow a buyer to close on a property without an appraisal, so, effectively, they are usually required. Your mortgage lender uses the property as collateral for your loan, and the appraisal is what the lender will base the mortgage on to confirm the value is there to justify their investment.
The average cost of a property appraisal is around $355, but different appraisers in your area could charge anywhere from $250 to $500. Appraisals for larger properties will often cost more, as will valuations for older properties. Appraisers will use homes in the surrounding area to help determine a valuation as well, so if your home doesn’t conform to the neighborhood standards, the valuation will require more work and will likely cost more.
A licensed appraiser is the only individual that can carry out a property appraisal. You should always check to ensure an appraiser you’re considering has the proper licensing from your state. Additionally, since an appraisal is meant to be an unbiased opinion of a property’s value, you should confirm that the appraiser doesn’t have ties to any other party in the sale of the property.
Anyone can hire a property appraiser to confirm the inherent value of a property, but the buyer or buyer’s lender will usually choose the appraiser and pay the individual for their opinion. It’s also not uncommon for the seller’s side in a real estate transaction to hire an appraiser in order to justify an asking price or negotiate a higher selling price.
