Customers say: Quick response

"Chris at Argo Appraisals very quickly responded to my request and was really thorough in his assessment of our property. We contacted him for an appraisal for property tax appeal. After he reviewed the tax records while on the phone with me and then took the time to also quickly appraise other similar properties to ours, he called me right back and told me that a new appraisal would not yield the result we would need to appeal or reduce our tax liability. However, he did ascertain that the property did indeed have a discrepancy in the tax assessor's square footage and recommended that we call him and ask them to come out to remeasure. That should result in lower square footage than they show on file and lower taxes :D. Chris was so amazing and helpful and really dug deeper in order to be help. I highly recommend him and will refer and look forward to working with him in the future. Chris goes above and beyond in his appraisal work. Love his ethic and integrity. You can't go wrong by working with Argo Appraisals!!!"

"I hired Schubert Appraisal, LLC. Abe Schubert responded virtually instantaneously, showed up to perform the appraisal same day I requested assistance. He completed and delivered the final appraisal, also same day. The price for his services was far better than others I shopped that later responded. He exceeded all expectations, responsiveness, professionalism, the final product. Not sure if I was just lucky, but more probably he is just that good. No, he is not family, never met him before, but calling it as I see it, he deserves a great review."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, installing a tennis court can be a worthwhile home improvement project that adds value to your property. The potential increase in value can range from $20,000 to $150,000, and in some cases, the return on investment can cover more than 60% of the installation cost. However, the impact on value heavily depends on the size of your property. For homes with multiple acres, a tennis court is often a valuable amenity. In contrast, for homes on smaller lots, installing a court can decrease the property's value because it consumes a significant portion of the usable yard space. It's crucial to consider your property size and the remaining usable yard before proceeding.

Mobile homes weigh anywhere between 45 to 50 pounds per square foot. Some newer options weigh up to 70 pounds per square foot. An average single-wide mobile home weighs 45,000 pounds, and a double-wide mobile home weighs about 70,000 pounds. Triple-wide mobile homes range from 90,000 to 100,000 pounds.

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.
