"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."

"Lee, the owner is very cordial. I called this company and he came that evening to give me an estimate. He'd had a job on his calendar for a few months and the people cancelled last minute. His estimate was extremely acceptable and his men were here the next day to do the prep work. The actual painting took only 1 1/2 days. They did an excellentjob and they were extremely neat. I would give them a definite 👍👍👍👍👍"

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

If installing board and batten fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn’t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home’s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home’s price won’t see a noticeable bump. 

In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits—like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court—then your property taxes will be affected.

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.

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.

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.
