"It went very well. He listened to all my ideas and even proposed one of his own as we were going through tweaks to the initial design for the engagement ring and wedding band. I wound up incorporating his idea into the final design. He was very good about giving his professional opinion on my ideas especially if he felt that an idea would not look good, which I appreciated. He was also very good about letting me know if any of the design tweaks would add cost to the initial quote. Once the final design was achieved he had the rings crafted and back to me in two weeks. He also promptly got the bridal set appraised when asked.



The only compliant would be that when I would directly ask him for his recommendation on how to make the engagement ring more feminine he had no recommendations and instead waited for me to propose a few ideas and then he would give his opinion on if he felt the idea(s) would make the ring look more feminine.

Antiques and Jewelry Appraisals questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Appraisals are not mandatory but are helpful for pricing accuracy and negotiation purposes.

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.
