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."

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

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.

Wainscoting isn’t a design element that can be directly tied to an increased house price. Despite that, it is a highly marketable element that can generate significant interest from potential buyers who enjoy the style, and is relatively inexpensive to remove for those who don’t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn’t result in depreciation of your home’s value—usually the opposite. 

Having a garage installed certainly adds to the value of your home. The consideration is not whether it adds value, but for many, they want to know if adding a garage yields a return on their investment or ROI. While garages can add anywhere from 5% to 20% of the total value of your property, that doesn’t mean that they return 5% to 20% of the money invested in building them. Most homeowners build garages for a purpose but know that you can recover your investment when you sell or refinance.   

Yes, granite can increase the value of your home since it’s considered a high-quality, durable material. It’s also easy to care for and can withstand years of wear and tear, so potential buyers may hold your home in higher regard if you have granite countertops.

It depends on the location of the home and, more particularly, the region’s climate. For example, a Florida homeowner can rest assured they won’t lose money at resale if their home doesn’t have a fireplace. However, buyers in Minnesota or other northern states known for frigid winters might offer a lower price if the home doesn’t come equipped with another way to stay warm.
