"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

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. 

Typically during transactions or refinancing, or whenever significant improvements are made.

Wainscoting isn’t a design element that can be directly tied to an increased house price. Despite that, it is a highly marketable element that can generate significant interest from potential buyers who enjoy the style, and is relatively inexpensive to remove for those who don’t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn’t result in depreciation of your home’s value—usually the opposite. 

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.

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