"I had a rush job. Dan got in touch with me immediately, scheduled a convenient time for the appraisal, answered my questions before, during, and after the appraisal, and came in at the price he had originally quoted. I was very happy with his performance."

"My husband and I were recently blessed to have Anthony work with us in selling our home, as well as well as Theresa, one of company's agents, worked so aggressively to find us our new beautiful home. Every step of the way, was at such a personal level, understanding our needs, tolerating my stress, and always responding personally, no matter how big or small the question or situation. They were just amazing with us. We are so thankful for Anthony and Theresa, to make what we thought was going to be one of the most stressful times in our lives, to be literally one of the most exciting and enjoyable times for us !! You guys rock !! ❤️George & Carrie Parker"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

The condition and appearance of your yard can affect your home appraisal value. A well-maintained, attractive yard with curb appeal adds to a property’s value, while an overgrown, messy, poorly maintained yard can hurt your home’s appraisal. Even small cosmetic improvements to your yard, like adding mulch, trimming trees, and cleaning out plant beds, can help your appraisal value.

Some appraisers hold a Member of the Appraisal Institute designation. This accolade is the highest credential property appraisers can earn. An MAI appraisal is typically used for commercial properties.

While your lender will likely recommend an appraiser, you can also hire a professional home appraiser on your own. Choose someone who is experienced in your type of residential property, and ensure they hold all of the necessary credentials that your state or region requires.

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.

Yes, appraisals are often used for property tax appeals, estate planning, and determining market value.

You can be present during a home appraisal, but it’s best to stay out of the appraiser’s way. Make yourself available, but don’t engage or interrupt, and don’t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.
