"Adam promised a quick turn around on the appraisal that he initiated on September 20 by visiting the home to be appraised and picking up payment of $250. He stated to the owner that he hoped to get it to me by September 22. I needed it by September 28. In my inquiry of September 27, he said that he would finish it that day. It is October 1 and I have yet to hear from him.."

"I originally found Mark on Angie's List, with all the great reviews, I had to check him out. I am a first time home buyer and Mark helped me with weighing my options with FHA or Conventional. We ended up going conventional with 5% down, which saved us a lot of money.
I had another quote from another Mortgage lender, which I shared with Mark. I also told Mark we have 30 days to close, so he definitely had his work cut out for him. Mark ended up winning the job, he got me the best rate and cheapest closing costs. He also promised me 30 days closing, which I was very happy he was able to do. Everything went smoothly, and he was quick to pick up the phone and give me advice throughout the whole process. He was very upfront with everything, all of the costs were outlined and there were NO hidden fees at the closing table. I would highly recommend Mark, I am recommending all my family and friends to use him!

"Brian helped us to sell our investment condo, and I was glad that I hired him. As we had only bought properties in the past, and not sold, Brian was very patient in educating us, and helping us get the answers to our questions in a timely manner. In working with Brian, I felt that I was working alongside an agent who was professional, understood the Pittsburgh market, and could advise us well to get the maximum selling price leading up to the closing. He was excellent in helping us to negotiate between various buyers. He gave honest and candid advice, and helped us to ultimately make the right decisions in selling our property. We made more money because of Brian. I would recommend Brian to anyone selling their investment property or primary residence."

Welcome to Nordquist Appraisal, LLC. We are residential real estate appraisal company with 15 years experience serving Allegheny County and the surrounding areas. We provide appraisal services for home owners, sellers, home buyers, attorneys, investors and any others in need of a real estate appraisal.
An appraisal is an opinion of value, so anything that is expected to boost your home value is likely to work in your favor when it comes to the appraisal. Things like improving your curb appeal, painting, refinishing floors, and taking care of minor repairs are all good investments prior to ordering an appraisal. It’s also a good idea to clear out any clutter and complete a deep clean beforehand to show your property in the best light possible.
Appraisals aren’t required by law to complete a real estate transaction, but it’s unlikely that a lender will allow a buyer to close on a property without an appraisal, so, effectively, they are usually required. Your mortgage lender uses the property as collateral for your loan, and the appraisal is what the lender will base the mortgage on to confirm the value is there to justify their investment.
The average cost of a property appraisal is around $355, but different appraisers in your area could charge anywhere from $250 to $500. Appraisals for larger properties will often cost more, as will valuations for older properties. Appraisers will use homes in the surrounding area to help determine a valuation as well, so if your home doesn’t conform to the neighborhood standards, the valuation will require more work and will likely cost more.
A licensed appraiser is the only individual that can carry out a property appraisal. You should always check to ensure an appraiser you’re considering has the proper licensing from your state. Additionally, since an appraisal is meant to be an unbiased opinion of a property’s value, you should confirm that the appraiser doesn’t have ties to any other party in the sale of the property.
Anyone can hire a property appraiser to confirm the inherent value of a property, but the buyer or buyer’s lender will usually choose the appraiser and pay the individual for their opinion. It’s also not uncommon for the seller’s side in a real estate transaction to hire an appraiser in order to justify an asking price or negotiate a higher selling price.
