"Linda was very good at responding right away and was very efficient in coming out and assessing our property value. She is professional but also very approachable, and did an excellent job both doing the work and following up. It is evident she enjoys doing what she does and it was frankly, very nice to to have a woman appraiser in a field dominated by men. Her attitude, honesty, and friendliness were such a bonus in a process that can be cold and stressful. I will use her for other properties and highly recommend her to any realtors looking for a new face in appraising. Thank you Redbird!"

She was prompt and professional and provided a comprehensive market analysis that will enable us to establish a competitive price point for the property. Yes, I would recommend her services and utilize her firm again in the future."

"Ms. Cipriano was recommended by as a Realtor by a family friend. As soon as we met with Ms Cipriano, and discussed our wish list, she provided a list of properties for our consideration. She suggested a couple of houses and took our time visiting the houses until we found the ONE.. At first it was a sort of preference desire, but Ms Cipriano turned it into a reality. Bids were submitted and she dealt with the Bank and owners and made our dream possible. We closed within 45 days."

"Mr. Schramm was 45 min late to the appraisal appointment with no explanation why. He seemed to be thorough while completing the appraisal, but he asked less questions about the home than I expected. I was intimately involved in the building of my home and felt like I had a lot to offer from an information standpoint, and I didn't feel like he really cared to hear all of my inputs. Finally, Mr. Schramm told me the appraisal would be completed on a Tuesday, possible Wednesday. Here it is Friday and I still don't have it. To his credit, I will say that he has kept me informed on the status and why it is delayed for the most part."

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. 

In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that’s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it’s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn’t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you’d spend coordinating the repairs.

An FHA appraisal is valid for 180 days from the effective date of the report. In some cases, you can have the appraisal recertified if you make your request before the original expires so that you still may obtain an FHA loan. If approved, your appraisal update is valid for one year.

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.

Some appraisers hold a Member of the Appraisal Institute designation. This accolade is the highest credential property appraisers can earn. An MAI appraisal is typically used for commercial properties.

While your lender will likely recommend an appraiser, you can also hire a professional home appraiser on your own. Choose someone who is experienced in your type of residential property, and ensure they hold all of the necessary credentials that your state or region requires.
