"Michael was professional and a pleasure to work with. His appraisal was very detailed and provided me all the information I needed to make an informed decision. I needed a very quick turnaround and Michael understood and provided just that. I would definitely use this company again!"

"I am an attorney, and as part of that, I have hired them on behalf of my clients more than once. With those being the stakes it is critical that the appraisal be accurate and held to a very high standard. I am glad to have found Bodine Appraisal Services and Jason Bodine because they have consistently provided expertly done appraisals, on-time, and with excellent professionalism to boot. I will hire them again without hesitation and I can similarly recommend them."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits—like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court—then your property taxes will be affected.

Yes, appraisals are often used for property tax appeals, estate planning, and determining market value.

As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. 

In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.

Yes, the age of your home can impact its value. However, age is just one of many factors that will have an effect. An older home may be perceived as needing more work and maintenance, but if you’ve kept up with repairs or done any renovations, this will increase its value. Buyers will also consider the size of the house, location, and how nearby homes are priced. Lastly, value also depends on whether it’s a buyer or seller’s market.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.
