"Ed Paskan scheduled me for an appraisal the day after I called him. He had the appraisal returned to me within a week. I asked him to change the appraisal type after several days had passed and he happily obliged me. I would happily recommend him to others looking for a property appraisal."

"I needed an appraisal of my property to assess value for my divorce proceedings. I called a few appraisers and decided to go with Craig Gehm Appraisals, as they were professional, able to work within my time frame and kindly answered all of my questions. On the day of my appointment, Craig was punctual and did a thorough walk through of my property. I didnâ t expect to receive my report for at least a week, however Craig sent the full report to me within 24 hours! The appraisal was just what I needed to help me through the process of equitable distribution in my divorce. I would highly recommend Craig Gehm Appraisals for any of your appraisal needs."

"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."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

While some aspects of an appraisal, such as comparable properties nearby, are out of your control, there are several steps you can take to potentially increase your home's value. Make any necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser's visit, as they can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. Examples include renovating older areas, updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, and staging your home. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades, which may increase your home's value by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.

Yes, installing a tennis court can be a worthwhile home improvement project that adds value to your property. The potential increase in value can range from $20,000 to $150,000, and in some cases, the return on investment can cover more than 60% of the installation cost. However, the impact on value heavily depends on the size of your property. For homes with multiple acres, a tennis court is often a valuable amenity. In contrast, for homes on smaller lots, installing a court can decrease the property's value because it consumes a significant portion of the usable yard space. It's crucial to consider your property size and the remaining usable yard before proceeding.

A property valuation, sometimes called a comparative market analysis or CMA, provides a real estate expert’s opinion on how much your property will sell for. It takes many things into consideration, like the condition and location of the home, but ultimately, all that matters for a property valuation is what a buyer might be willing to pay for the property. An appraisal is more concerned with determining the value. A valuation is to estimate what you’ll get for a property, while an appraisal helps a lender establish loan-to-value ratios and loan amounts.

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.

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.
