"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. "

"Jason Ray did the appraisal. Used the most ridiculous comps in the world, came in 42k less than list price. And charged $2,000 for the appraisal. Talk about highway robbery! When confronted with discrepancies in the chosen comps, he refused to evaluate further even to adjust for land value. Apparently in his eyes, land has no value. Comps he used had 0.5 acres, 1.5 acres and 4.0 acres... our property had 6.14 acres. All comps used had 3 bedroom homes, ours has 4. Nobody looking to purchase a 4/2 home with over 6 acres, would even consider looking at a 3/2 home with 0.5 acres! Other more reasonable comps were available that would support the list price of the home, he chose not to use them. Completely and utterly ridiculous. Charging that much for a half assed appraisal should be criminal and I pitty the fool who willingly hires this man for an appraisal, unless of course you like overpaying to get screwed out of a large chunk of money."

"We’re very happy with the re-financing process through Westwood Mortgage. Erika was very detailed in her emails to make sure we didn’t miss anything. She treated me with the utmost respect, and made me feel less stressed. I could ask her any questions without feeling like it was a silly question, and she responded very quickly.

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Typically during transactions or refinancing, or whenever significant improvements are made.

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.

Your home insurance company may allow you to use an appraisal instead of an inspection when you apply for coverage. Keep in mind that despite this, an appraisal is far less detailed than the different types of home inspections available and may not reveal potential risks that you’ll want to know about.

The entire appraisal process takes from seven to 10 days. This timeline accounts for the many steps of the appraisal process, including the post-inspection report completed by the appraiser.

Home appraisal services include the following tasks:

  • Inspect home interior and exterior

  • Evaluate materials, features, fixtures, and renovations

  • Review comparable properties

  • Write an appraisal report

Ensures accurate valuation reflecting current market conditions, assisting in financial decisions.
