Geist Appraisal SErvices is a locally owned and operated real estate appraisal company that has been in business for over 20 years. Our area of emphasis is single family homes, condos, townhouses and 2-4 unit income properties located in the tri-county area of Portland Oregon. We have appraised newly built homes, existing structures, homes with additions being added, or remodeling projects taking place. But in all cases, the purpose of the appraisal is to determine the market value of the property. Since lenders typically determine their own appraisers I would be the most help for estates, divorces, determining a market value before putting a home on the market for sale. In divorces and estates, we may end up providing a current value and a 2nd value that is from the past.

"Ed came on Thursday the 26th, was professional, gave me a handwritten receipt for the cash he wanted to do the job. He said he would have the report to me on Monday-Tuesday of the following week (30th or the 1st). I called on Wednesday the 2nd, he said he would have it by the afternoon. I reminded him I needed it on the 9th for an appointment with the attorney. He said no problem. He did not call or send it. I have called 5 times and he either promises in one hour or by end of day. It is now the 9th and I feel he has ghosted me. It is the 9th and he won't respond to phone, text or email and today is the appointment with attorney. He should att have the courtesy to tell me. Angie, I would think twice about referring him if this is the service he provides. I am out $300 unless I can find him and now will have to meet with attorney another time. Not a good way to do business."

"He came out to the property within a few days of the request. It is a small place, less than 1000 square feet, not very complicated. After 3 and a half weeks, and multiple failed promises, I have no report. I texted him that I was going to get another appraiser, and his response was sorry, and good luck out there. I am kicking myself for having squandered so much time with this guy. The other good reviews on this site really led me wrong."

With over 25 years of real estate experience, you can rest assure that the transaction process is well thought out and proactive to ensure a smooth closing. My name is Annie, and I am the owner and Principal Broker of Rose Country Realty, LLC In the 1990's, I served as a REO Asset Manager, and, in that role, I became an expert in that niche of real estate. I understand the process from all sides of selling properties across the entire US, including Puerto Rico and Hawaii. REO stands for Real Estate Owned, specifically owned by a financial institution that acquired title by a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu process. REO Asset Management is the upkeep and handling of the financial institution's REO properties. For individuals here wanting to sell in the Portland area, I am aware what needs to be done for top dollar resale value. Or, if you intend on not being bothered with all the fuss of getting your home fixed, cleaned up and staged, for example, I can help you get buyers to the table to review offers as-is. If you are ready to prepare your property in top notch condition, I have lots of construction experience to help oversee the contractors and then organize and stage the home. For buyers, I will work for you to be on top of the market changes and up to date with the property search that matches your chosen criteria. Then, be sure that when it comes time for inspections and negotiations, our negotiations will be clearly conveyed. Lastly, my goal will be to oversee your contract and guide you towards a successful transfer of ownership. It is a pleasure to help my clients find their dream homes and build a portfolio since 1994 in the Portland Metro and surrounding areas.

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

If the sales agreement has a clause that allows the seller to renegotiate based on the appraised value, then they might be able to back out if the appraisal comes in higher than your offer price. If the agreement doesn’t have that language, then the seller has no legal recourse to back out. They could hold a higher offer as a backup and move onto that one if yours falls through for any reason, but once the agreement is signed, the seller is locked into that purchase price unless there’s a clause stating they can renegotiate.

While it's smart to save up about 25 percent of the price of a home—to cover the down payment and closing costs—many loans require between less than 3% down to qualify. In either case, you'll need between 3 and 6 percent for the closing and moving costs as well as a strong financial history for mortgage approval.

A land survey includes the layout of a single property, including precise measurements and to-scale drawings of boundary lines, land improvements, and sometimes other features, like topography and drainage information. A plat map includes the layouts and boundary lines of several adjacent plots and basic structure measurements. Surveys are normally more valuable for homeowners and buyers, and plat maps are for governmental use.

Currently, the average house in Hawaii is around $830,000, with prices having risen over the last five years. Some areas, like Honolulu or Ewa Beach, are a bit less expensive, but others, like Waimanalo and Pearl City, drive up the average price.

Granite countertops typically add value to your home, especially if upgrading from a less durable material or one that requires more maintenance, like concrete, wood, or laminate. Granite strikes an excellent balance between longevity and affordability, so most home buyers will see immense value in granite countertops. Plus, upgrading countertops to granite is likely to have a more significant impact on your home value than many other home improvement projects, as many buyers use the kitchens and bathrooms to judge the overall quality of the home.
