"Michael was awesome! This is the first time in my life I have ever had to have an appraisal done on property and I am so very pleased that I gave him a call. He arrived on time. He listened to me as I explained what my needs were. He took the time to explain certain aspects of the appraisal which I greatly appreciated. He was very kind, courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him."

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

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.

But if it is not kept in good condition, it could turn buyers away.

An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location’s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. 

Depending on the size of the home, the appraisal itself can take several hours. After the appraiser’s visit is complete, it can take between a few days and a few weeks to get the report back. This timeline is largely dependent on the appraiser’s workload, research requirements, efficiency, and other factors.
