"I recently decided to sell my condo and wanted to make an educated decision on what the list price should be so i decided to get my condo appraised. I came onto Homeadvisor and entered the required information. The following more i had a email response from Dondi of Calstin Appraisal Services. We ended up speaking later that morning and by the the end of the call i had the appraisal scheduled for later that day. Dondi gave me all the particulars and i gave him the information he needed so I was comfortable with him doing the appraisal. Totally fantastic on that point as i was looking for the appraisal to be done asap. He came out to my property, did what he had to do and left my condo locked up tight because i wasnt able to be there. Dondi was so polite too. Got my appraisal within a couple of days and boy was he thorough. The appraisal report gave me tons of info and the value was in the range of what i expected. Thoroughly happy with his service and would have no issue recommending him to anyone looking for appraisal services. Thanks Dondi"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

The entire appraisal process takes from seven to 10 days. This timeline accounts for the many steps of the appraisal process, including the post-inspection report completed by the appraiser.

Home appraisal services include the following tasks:

  • Inspect home interior and exterior

  • Evaluate materials, features, fixtures, and renovations

  • Review comparable properties

  • Write an appraisal report

In most cases, you can expect home automation to boost your home value. This technology makes the homeowner’s life easier and more comfortable, and some provide increased safety and protection. Buyers will likely recognize value in security systems and utility monitors, as well as comfort-focused upgrades that save on electric bills while keeping interior rooms at the desired temperature and humidity. On average, you can expect a 50% and 75% return on investment on home automation services, and potentially even more if the automation reduces homeowner’s insurance.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.

While some aspects of an appraisal, such as comparable properties nearby, are out of your control, there are several steps you can take to potentially increase your home's value. Make any necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser's visit, as they can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. Examples include renovating older areas, updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, and staging your home. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades, which may increase your home's value by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.

Typically during transactions or refinancing, or whenever significant improvements are made.
