I would like to introduce my company and myself. I have been in business for forty-three years. In the equine and livestock industry. In that time I have appraised commercial farms and ranches, commercial recreational property. The largest, of being on a team that appraised Yellow Stone Park Co. For the U.S. Park Service. I have spent many years� personal property and Livestock.\n\nIn my retirement from the equine industry as a professional furrier and manager of commercial and recreational equine operations. I am moving into that of rural and small town real estate appraiser. I have traveled three back roads of the counties I will be working in, talked with and done business with the people who do business in those areas for years.

We also share appraisal assignments, if we get an assignment in another areas, we call and see if that appraiser wants to do it on and have the appraiser contact the lender.\n\nMy turn times are 234 to 48 hours after inspection on subjects that pose no problems.\n\nIf you would like additional information or would like a complete copy of my rates, terms and conditions sheet, please contact me.\n\n

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they’re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn’t a legal living space won’t affect your appraisal value.

In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits—like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court—then your property taxes will be affected.

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.

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.

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.
