My insurance company would not accept an estimate from an independent appraiser, so I canceled on the meeting, but if my insurance company doesnt provide the protection I want then I will use this company to privately appraise so I know what to look for when I shop around for a new policy.

"The appraisal was offered at a $50 discount of $350. And $400 to rush it in one day. I needed an appraisal sone quickly for an estate sale on a pending offer to appease the sellers on the value of the house. Bennett came to the house to measure and I specifically said the measurements would not align with the town records because 5 additions were out on by the builder and sole owner of the home. Bennet didn?t listen and did an appraisal with comps that didn?t reflect the home. He then said he would correct the mistake and get it done in a day and then failed to live up to that promise. When I asked for a refund he promised to repay half the amount and never did. That was over 2 weeks ago. This is a business and service that is supposed to keep people honest. Instead I got the run around and no resolution to date."

FAQs for property appraisal projects in Glen Ridge, NJ

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.
