My experience in Northern Virginia is extensive. I?ve seen the area grow from one seven-story highrise in Rosslyn?with a smattering of pawn shops, lumber yards and used car dealerships thrown in?to the mini-city it is today. That growth has steadily spread west and south and shows few signs of stopping. I?ve lived and appraised all over Northern Virginia for a lot of years, from Arlington to Culpeper, from one-story ramblers to 100 acre horse farms and lots in between. If you need some help determining the value of your real estate, I?m able and ready to help. Give me a call and let?s chat.

"Alan Brown demonstrated exceptional professionalism, thoroughness, and attention to detail throughout the appraisal process. His clear communication, fairness, and deep market knowledge made the experience smooth and stress-free. He delivered a well-researched, accurate report in a timely manner, and went above and beyond to ensure every question was answered. I would highly recommend Alan to anyone in need of a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and dependable appraiser."

I have been practicing real estate since 1997 and am a majority owner of the Keller Williams office in Charlotesville, VA. Alternate Phone: (434) 220-2200 Fax: (434) 220-1924

"Mary helped us to sell our house quickly and at a good price. She helped from start to finish. She recommended renovations that would yield good ROI (return on investment); recommended contractors and services; brought in designers and stagers to advise as needed; and helped us set a good asking price based on recent comps and current market conditions. Mary is professional, practical and down-to-earth. She laid out her recommendations, but then was respectful and supportive of our wishes and decisions. We got a very good offer within 2 days of listing our property and were in contract within 5 days. I highly recommend Mary Newton."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Yes, appraisals are often used for property tax appeals, estate planning, and determining market value.

Costs depend on the property size, audit complexity, and whether additional testing (e.g., blower door) is included.

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.

Yes, home appraisers look at your windows when appraising your property to determine the market value of your home. They’ll factor in the type of windows, quality, condition, whether or not there are screens covering the windows, frame materials, size, insulation, and more to come up with an unbiased property assessment.

Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they’re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn’t a legal living space won’t affect your appraisal value.
