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

The cost ranges from $300 to $500, depending on the property's size and location. Due to their complexity, commercial appraisals may cost more.

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. 

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

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. Having this feature already built into a yard’s home can be appealing to homebuyers who value its aesthetic and would prefer not to build it themselves. But if it is not kept in good condition, it could turn buyers away.

While parts of the appraisal are out of your control, there are some things you can do to potentially raise the home’s value. You can make necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser visits—an appraiser can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades. The appraiser will likely increase the value of your home by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.
