"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."

"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."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. 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. 

If installing board and batten fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn’t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home’s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home’s price won’t see a noticeable bump. 

Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.

Ideally, you’d never pay more than the appraised value for a home, but there are some instances where it makes sense to do so. For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you’re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.

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.
