"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 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!"

"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!"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location’s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. 

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.

Some appraisers hold a Member of the Appraisal Institute designation. This accolade is the highest credential property appraisers can earn. An MAI appraisal is typically used for commercial properties.

While your lender will likely recommend an appraiser, you can also hire a professional home appraiser on your own. Choose someone who is experienced in your type of residential property, and ensure they hold all of the necessary credentials that your state or region requires.

Yes, installing a tennis court can be a worthwhile home improvement project that adds value to your property. The potential increase in value can range from $20,000 to $150,000, and in some cases, the return on investment can cover more than 60% of the installation cost. However, the impact on value heavily depends on the size of your property. For homes with multiple acres, a tennis court is often a valuable amenity. In contrast, for homes on smaller lots, installing a court can decrease the property's value because it consumes a significant portion of the usable yard space. It's crucial to consider your property size and the remaining usable yard before proceeding.

While there’s technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.
