"Used Allert Appraisals to get an independent competent view of the value of our property as listing for sale. Much better than the wide range of comps from possible realtors. I would highly recommend Dan Allert as he is knowledgeable, does is homework and had the appraisal in less than 2 days. Based on his appraisal, we lowered our listing price and have had almost daily action in selling our home - almost a revolving door at times. Wish we would have done this before initially listing and recommend any one who plans on selling to get their own appraisal and do not rely on real estate agents."

"A total professional. Seriously. Purchased two properties using her services. On both, she worked her tail off to find and show dozens of homes until we found what we really, really wanted. No pressure, no BS. She has just now completed the sale of the first property, a rental property, and, like my real estate luck goes, there were lots of issues and setbacks. She handled all with tact, professionalism and, well, sympathy. BTW she was my agent for the rental property as well. Again, a total professional. When candidates didn't suit her, she'd give me her insight. I trusted her completely to find the right tenants. In all of the above, she carefully walks you through the process, explains everything, anticipates issues, and goes beyond all expectations of service."

"I was very pleasantly surprised that Gary was able to schedule my appraisal within a week of my request, considering how busy appraisers are this year due to the high number of property tax protests. He kept me informed of when he would arrive, was on time, immediately set to work upon arrival, and provided my appraisal report in less than a week. Very personable and answered all my questions. I would definitely use him again."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

Ensure the property is clean, provide access to all areas, and supply relevant documents, such as recent upgrades or tax records.

The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.

While there’s technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.

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.
