"The representative was very knowledgeable and helpful but unfortunately I did not realize appraisals were so expensive. I am currently not in a financial position to move forward at the moment."

"This is the second year in a row that we have hired Robert to appraise our house in preparation for our property tax appraisal protest hearing. By presenting Robert s appraisals, we have successfully protested our property valuation both years. We are very impressed with Robert s expertise in his field and his attention to detail. Further, he was willing to take extra time to explain his methodology, which was extremely helpful to us as we prepared for the hearings. We greatly appreciate the quality and detail of his appraisals, as well as his dedication to his clients, and we strongly recommend him to anyone considering hiring an appraiser."

"The process was easy, and pricing options were provided up fromt. They gave clear instructions about what they needed for the appraisal. They provided an appraisal quickly, with a nice turn around time. I would call this company again next I need an appraisal."

"Called and they were able to come out within the next couple of days. Needed them to perform a measurement appraisal in order to fight the incorrect square footage that the appraisal district had on my property. Using the report they supplied I was able to get the appraisal district to make the corrections and lower my district's value of my property in turn lowering my property taxes. Recommend to everyone to have them check the accuracy of the square footage the appraisal district is showing and use a service like Bowden's to get the information needed to get it corrected."

"The were professional, responded quickly, and provided exactly what I paid for. But they were in my home for only about 30 minutes and the report, though 20 pages long, is mostly fill-in-the form data. I find it difficult to understand how they justify the prices they charge for the effort that goes into their services. However, having said that their price was competitive; it seems all appraisers charge, what seems to me, an exorbitant amount. As such I would hire them again if I really needed an appraiser."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

The entire appraisal process takes from seven to 10 days. This timeline accounts for the many steps of the appraisal process, including the post-inspection report completed by the appraiser.

Home appraisal services include the following tasks:

  • Inspect home interior and exterior

  • Evaluate materials, features, fixtures, and renovations

  • Review comparable properties

  • Write an appraisal report

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.

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.

A koi pond may add value to your home if it’s a feature sellers are looking for. Like pools, ponds can affect your property value depending on their condition, whether they’re a popular selling point, and how well they’re incorporated into your home’s landscape.

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area.
