"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.

You guys rock !! ❤️George & Carrie Parker"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Costs depend on the property size, audit complexity, and whether additional testing (e.g., blower door) is included.

Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.
