"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 wholeheartedly recommend Kevin for any/all property appraisal needs. I requested a quote via Angie's List and he contacted me the very same day. He was able to schedule my appointment quickly and performed his services exactly as he described. He was thorough in appraising our property, and the report he sent was detailed and showcased how knowledgeable Kevin is. I found the pricing to be reasonable and I would definitely use his services in the future."

"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 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!

"As first time home buyers, we came to Brian on good recommendation from a close friend with the expressed desire to find a place to call our own.
At our first meeting with Brian we were up front: we were (fairly) clueless! Wasting no time, Brian gave us a home buying 101 course that went over the process he takes with clients, what would be expected of us, things to consider when shopping around for financing, and did a basic Q/A session about what kind of home we think we'd be looking for. Our homework was to come up with a list of musts, wants, and maybe so's.  Brian helped us think about things we might not have considered left to our own devices. Specific questions about location requirements, parking, heating/cooling, storage space. He helped us narrow down our neighborhoods and suggested places we didn't even know were so up and coming. After our next session, after many hearty laughs, and several more direct answers to our (what we thought were) naive questions, my partner and I happily agreed that we were 100% committed to using Brian as our agent, and boy are we glad we did. 
Once we had a list of housing requirements, we got to searching. We are techy people, and we communicated extensively with Brian not just in person, but also via text and email - he always made himself available to chat with us or drop us a note during business hours, in his free time, in the evenings, and even between clients (Brian has a wonderful no-distraction policy while working directly with a client, an amenity we greatly appreciated during our 1:1 time with him). He asked us what kind of frequency we'd like to receive notifications for new homes that met our general criteria, and followed up with us on a weekly basis to ensure our needs were being met. As our needs for a home evolved and changed over time (he learned fast that because of our naiveté , this happened a lot lol), Brian quickly pivoted our search criteria and widened or narrowed our net, as needed. He made us feel confident that learning as you go was part of the process, and we felt great once we got a feel for the options in the city. We undershot and overshot our expectations for a new home, and Brian really helped us find the  'sweet spot'
When we were interested in a home Brian had a pretty standard formula for showing. This consistency allowed us to make comparisons between homes very easily, and he always provided us with summary materials of each of the properties for our records. He'd walk us through each home step by step, pointing out positives and negatives to every room, feature, level, appliance, material, location, and layout. Brian also always evaluated the structure of the property, and taught us ways that contractors hide shoddy workmanship or try to get people to overlook deficiencies in construction, electrical systems, foundations, and landscaping. During these visits he stressed that he was merely there to provided data and answer questions, all of the decisions were ours to make. His extensive knowledge of building code, general contracting, future home improvements, landscaping, and home value appreciation helped us get a vision for what our home would look like once it came into focus. 
I want to make it very clear, and I can't stress this enough, that Brian was not out to get us into 'any' home, he was out to get us into the perfect home that met our needs and our budget. We never, and I mean, never, felt pressured or unsure or worried that Brian was just out to make a sale. I can't tell you how much that made us feel relaxed and happy to search with him. 
When we found a place we were interested in, at the peak of the busy housing season, Brian really shined (as if he wasn't shining already!) during the home inspection and closing process. Brian was our liaison to the seller, the home inspectors, gave us checklists and prep for meeting with our mortgage bankers, negotiated our price and conditions for our buyers contract, followed up with the contractors performing the necessary fixes, and got us into our new place ahead of schedule and within the perfect timeframe to allow our previous lease to end and our new mortgage to begin. With so many decisions to make, so much paperwork to fill out, and so much money at stake for us, Brian was professional, responsive, and fun every step of the way. 
Above all the service Brian provided, he is just an all-around great person to spend time with. He's funny, intelligent, professional, punctual, and sacrifices so much of his own time for the satisfaction of his clients. He's an active member of his community, pursues his hobbies, all while making time for his family. Brian has made lifelong customers out of us (for our next great home adventure some day!) and I would recommend him with the highest regards to anyone I know or love.

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Foundation cracks won’t always affect your appraised value. All foundations crack due to normal settlement, so hairline cracks that aren’t leaking or uneven from side to side are unlikely to have an impact on your appraisal. Structural cracks, on the other hand, often lead to a reduced appraised value, especially if the underlying problem will cause the issue to worsen over time.

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.

In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, hire another appraiser to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn’t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.

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.

In short, yes, a pond can add to your home’s value. However, whether it adds value will depend on the condition and aesthetic of your pond. Having this feature already built into a yard’s home can be appealing to homebuyers who value its aesthetic and would prefer not to build it themselves. But if it is not kept in good condition, it could turn buyers away.
