"I chose Armstrong Appraisals from a list of options during a corporate relocation and it almost cost me thousands of dollars. He made an appraisal 8% below what I sold the house for 3 days after listing it. He also came in well below a second appraisal obtained. Comparisons and home renovation receipts provided with the appraisal request were ignored. I would have appealed the appraisal if it was going to be used in my buyout calculation. I recommend looking elsewhere if you are the seller in a corporate buyout situation."

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Ideally, you’d never pay more than the appraised value for a home, but there are some instances where it makes sense to do so. For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you’re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.

Most experts agree that homeowners just about break even when selling a home with an outdoor kitchen. There’s a potential ROI of between 100% to 200%, but this depends on the actual design and material details of your kitchen. Keeping it properly maintained also impacts the ROI. It’s good to know, however, that you won’t lose money when installing a kitchen outside.

It’s often a good idea to take care of any health and safety repairs before an appraisal to make sure the mortgage can move to underwriting without having to pay for another appraisal. Replace any broken glass, fix uneven or sloping floors, ensure all steps have appropriate handrails, and have a professional get rid of mold, asbestos, and lead paint. Beyond these repairs, you can update appliances or fixtures and focus on aesthetic improvements like new paint to add the most value before scheduling an appraisal.

Property condition, comparables, market trends, and location influence appraisal.

If the value of the home you want to buy is appraised at less than the price of the offer, you may not be able to obtain a loan for the offer amount. Lenders want to ensure that the amount they’re lending isn’t more than the market value of the property, so you may have to increase your down payment to reduce the loan amount or get a second appraisal if you still want to proceed with the purchase.
