"Hired to do valuation of a manufactured home - not on land. Gave appraisal comparison properties included land. therefore not an accurate valuation. Thought salesperson understood nuance. "

We provide residential real estate appraisals for trusts, estate planning, divorce, IRS, step up valuation, and retroactive or date of death valuation. Our appraisers possess broad knowledge in both rising and diminishing markets. The Dayton real estate market has seen notable growth over the past three years; however, since April 2022 it started to decrease. Estimating how much the market has dropped is what makes our appraisal analysis unique compared to other appraisal firms. We are experts in determining property trends from a past date. Appraisals required for probate, trusts or divorce are usually retrospective and can potentially save you thousands on taxes to the IRS.

"Edward Clark of EClark Group Appraisals, Inc. was the appraiser hired by Third Federal to appraise our home for a refi. To my amazement, I was in total shock to learn of his appraised value. Mr. Clark is absolutely clueless about what he is doing. I provided a CMA collected from the MLS section of the DABR Website. I had factual proof, based on my neighborhood, of what homes that are 4Bd, 3Ba, over 3500sf have sold for in the last 4 months in my neighborhood alone (average price $517K). His evaluation of my home was nearly $100K less than the current closings of homes smaller than mine. Based on the CMA (180 days) the average price per square foot is $160. He valued my home at $109 per square foot (He originally had it at $103 until I ask for a review to get it right). What is alarming of his appraisal is that it is in no way consistent with the trends of the included comps, excluded comps (CMA from MLS previously shared), and current inventory of spec homes for sale in my neighborhood. I would never hire his services nor pay a dime for his inept abilities. I am just thankful I did not have to pay out of pocket, up front, for his services. How this individual became a "certified residential real estate appraiser" is comical. I would like to think that there are higher expectations from DABR, Banks, and Lenders for the vendors they endorse to provide services for their customers."

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.

In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that’s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it’s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn’t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you’d spend coordinating the repairs.

In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, hire another appraiser to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn’t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.

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.

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.
