"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."

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

Land doesn’t depreciate in the same way that a house, vehicle, or other property does, but it can lose value based on various factors. Environmental changes, nearby development, zoning changes, and economic downturns can all cause land to lose value over time. Value is a comparative figure, so as other related factors change, so can land’s value.

Xeriscaping can absolutely increase your home value, but the return on investment (ROI) depends on where you live and how prevalent xeriscaping is in your area. In drought-prone climates, xeriscaping can boost your curb appeal and make your home more appealing to buyers due to the reduced maintenance and watering costs. However, in areas where xeriscaping isn’t the norm, some buyers may be willing to pay less for a xeriscaped property if they don’t like the appearance.

Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.

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.

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.
