"I found Erik from Elite Appraisals through Angi. A local appraiser who we had worked with before passed away a couple years ago so sadly we needed a new contact and went to look on Angi. From the minute we submitted our info, Erik reached out to find out more about the project. He was very thorough in trying to understand our needs and the situation the bank was trying to appraise. We talked on the phone until he was clear about what we were asking. He then scheduled our appointment. We called to reschedule and he was very accommodating. He gave us a verbal bid over the phone and followed that up with a written contract, which was appropriately priced (we felt like it was a very good price).. He arrived on time as scheduled and took all the time that was needed to appraise the property! He was very professional. We all felt very comfortable with his assessment and service. He delivered the appraisal on time and weâ d recommend using this company to anyone based on our experience!"

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.

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

The purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You’re generally responsible for the cost if you need to know the current value of your home to refinance your mortgage, though in some instances the lender will pay for it. The buyer pays for the appraisal when they are applying for their mortgage.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.

Ensures accurate valuation reflecting current market conditions, assisting in financial decisions.

While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location’s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished.
