"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."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.

Appraisals can come in above or below the list price or offer price for a property, and where it falls depends on many factors. Those include the condition of the property, the location, and the age of the home, but often, the condition of the market is the biggest determining factor. Where demand is high for properties, buyers compete with each other for homes, which tends to drive up offer prices above where appraisals come in. Where demand is low, you’ll often see the opposite happening.

They provide objective, third-party valuation, guiding fair sales or purchase prices.
