"They were prompt, honest and very thorough while walking my property. The appraiser was extremely knowledgeable and attentive, even accepting of our 2 large breed St. Berdoodle dogs, who wanted nothing more but the appraisers attention. One of the best professional experiences I have had to date."

"I have a difficult real estate appraisal needed and Cedarwood came to the house, listened carefully and understood the special flooding concerns that the property has. In my opinion, no other appraiser would have gone as far as he did to make sure my needs were met. If you have a need for an appraiser, I recommend Cedarwood."

"I had a wonderful experience with Hart and Howard Real Estate! I spoke with Kristina originally, and she was really informative and helpful. I was looking for someone to do a private appraisal, so I didn't have a lender walking me through the process or anything. Turns out, I didn't need anybody but these two knowledgeable and friendly appraisers. They answered all of my questions and really helped me to understand how the process works. Caitlin is the appraiser who ended up doing my inspection. It was easy to schedule and she showed up on time which is a win in my book. I found Caitlin to be very professional and thorough in her inspection. The turn-around time for delivery of the report was accurate and very reasonable. With my limited experience in the industry, I felt that her evaluation made sense. They seemed to take all the particulars of my property into account in the comparable sales and analysis. I am quite pleased with my experience and would definitely recommend Hart & Howard for your appraisal needs!"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). 

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.

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

A koi pond may add value to your home if it’s a feature sellers are looking for. Like pools, ponds can affect your property value depending on their condition, whether they’re a popular selling point, and how well they’re incorporated into your home’s landscape.

In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, hire another appraiser to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn’t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.
