"Hired to do valuation of a manufactured home - not on land. Gave appraisal comparison properties included land. therefore not an accurate valuation. Thought salesperson understood nuance."
"I needed a qualified appraiser for a private real estate transaction involving a property in a remote area of the Western Washington Peninsula. ABJ Appraisals responded promptly, offered competitive pricing, made scheduling simple, and conducted the on-site appraisal professionally and efficiently. The final appraisal report was thorough, accurate, and well documented. I would not hesitate to recommend ABJ Appraisals to anyone in need of professional residential appraisal services."
"Marketplace Homes has managed two residential rental properties for me, and everything has always been very easy. They coordinate showings, negotiated rent with tenants, and hired contractors as needed at each property. I would use them for any rental property I have in the future!"
"Jeff is very friendly, professional, and most importantly, thorough! I am a good judge of character and I can confidentially say, Jeff is honest and cares about his work and clients.
He did his best to accommodate my schedule and last minute requests. I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend this company for your appraisal needs. He will earn your business."
"Excellent! The fast response from my property managers at Brink Property are so wonderful to work with. They respond immediately and with care and I haven't received that type of service in years from MacPherson Property Management. I would recommend Kay Bishop and Dylan Foggitt at Brink Property Management to anyone who wants excellent property management care."

You can be present during a home appraisal, but it’s best to stay out of the appraiser’s way. Make yourself available, but don’t engage or interrupt, and don’t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.
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.
In most cases, you can expect home automation to boost your home value. This technology makes the homeowner’s life easier and more comfortable, and some provide increased safety and protection. Buyers will likely recognize value in security systems and utility monitors, as well as comfort-focused upgrades that save on electric bills while keeping interior rooms at the desired temperature and humidity. On average, you can expect a 50% and 75% return on investment on home automation services, and potentially even more if the automation reduces homeowner’s insurance.
