"Jim completed a very challenging appraisal of my property which required him to go far above and beyond what is typically needed. I was very impressed with his comprehensive and thoughtful end product. His report that clearly explained his valuation methodology. The appraisal was high quality and accurate, and his service was very professional and timely. He spent a great deal of extra time looking in to public records and also gave extra time to talk with me, discussing the results and explaining all of the particular details. I would highly recommend Jim to anyone seeking an honest, reliable and skilled real estate appraiser."

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."

"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 questions, answered by experts

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.

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 technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.

Yes, home appraisers look at your windows when appraising your property to determine the market value of your home. They’ll factor in the type of windows, quality, condition, whether or not there are screens covering the windows, frame materials, size, insulation, and more to come up with an unbiased property assessment.

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.
