"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."

"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

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.

Yes, built-in bookshelves can be worth the investment and can add value to your home, especially when constructed from high-quality, timeless materials like luxury hardwood. They offer a practical and stylish storage solution that utilizes wall space effectively. While they cost more than store-bought units, the custom fit and potential to increase your property's resale value make them a desirable feature for many buyers, particularly for homeowners with large book collections. For the best return on investment, consider having them professionally built.

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.

In most cases, you can expect home automation to boost your home value. This technology makes the homeowner’s life easier and more comfortable, and some provide increased safety and protection. Buyers will likely recognize value in security systems and utility monitors, as well as comfort-focused upgrades that save on electric bills while keeping interior rooms at the desired temperature and humidity. On average, you can expect a 50% and 75% return on investment on home automation services, and potentially even more if the automation reduces homeowner’s insurance.

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.
