"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

Yes, appraisals are often used for property tax appeals, estate planning, and determining market value.

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.

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. 

Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they’re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn’t a legal living space won’t affect your appraisal value.

Appraisals are not mandatory but are helpful for pricing accuracy and negotiation purposes.
