"Jeff Yano is GREAT to work with. He was able to fit my appraisal into his schedule surprisingly fast. I had contacted other appraisers one never called back..another JUST called me back yesterday..weeks after Jeff Yano had already done my appraisal. He was thorough, kind & helpful. I would use his services again & recommend him to anyone looking for an appraisal. Thank you again for your help and kindness Mr. Yano, I appreciate YOU!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"He was prompt and professional. The standard appraisal form does not include any means to value ease of access and view. In a retirement community theses are both important purchase considerations. Not his fault but will surely impact value as perceived by candidate buyers."

"I used HomeAdvisor to find a good appraiser because Iâ m not in the same state as the property to be appraised. Mr. Churilla responded very quickly to my inquiry and after a short conversation, I felt comfortable hiring him to do the job. He was able to work within my schedule and was quick and very thorough in his assessment of the property. In all, I would highly recommend him for his knowledge and experience in the industry. Heâ s a true professional."

I can appraise anything that moves or can be moved. I can travel short or long distances,\n I have never been 2nd guessed or questioned on an appraisal. I have been doing appraisals\n for 12yrs. I can appraise at you location or I have done them at auctions or at business locations.\n Everyone that has purchased my services have been very satisfied and have told friends and \n neighbors about me. I do time wise appraisals but thorough, prices for appraisals is based on item or items to be appraised I am very efficient and thorough. I ask for a small % up front (good faith money by the client) and the rest when appraisal is complete and the client is satisfied with the results or payments can be worked out before appraisal is started as agreed to by both parties.\n I am available 24/7 by cell or landline phone or e-mail.

"Working with David to find our home was a great experience. As first-time buyers, he went above and beyond to explain the buying process and to make sure we really understood what was happening. David spend a considerable amount of time with us talking and looking for homes ( and eating tacos). David researched the houses in our price range and desired neighborhoods meticulously and was extremely thorough, he pretty much knows everything about any house in the Portland metro and beyond. He was very, very helpful when it came down to decision time and helped us through the signing process as well. I have recommended him as an agent to several friends and everyone of them has loved working with David. David really cares if your experience is good and about finding the right home for you. We love our home and it's a perfect fit for us, our own little paradise."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area. 

Appraisals can come in above or below the list price or offer price for a property, and where it falls depends on many factors. Those include the condition of the property, the location, and the age of the home, but often, the condition of the market is the biggest determining factor. Where demand is high for properties, buyers compete with each other for homes, which tends to drive up offer prices above where appraisals come in. Where demand is low, you’ll often see the opposite happening.

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.

While there's not a lot of definite research, some experts suggest that an in-ground or wall-mounted basketball hoop can add value to your home by increasing curb appeal. In addition, having a basketball hoop is an attractive feature of a house since it promotes physical activity, especially for children.

As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. 

In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.
