"They did a detailed job of appraising my property and (at my request) pointing out items that could be fixed or corrected to help increase the property's value if they were acted on. The appraisals were only for my knowledge of the value and were not needed by any banks or for any other considerations other than the sale price. I had them do an appraisal of the "as-is" value as well as a second one for "after-repaired-value" so I could see if renovations were worth the cost vs benefit. Because of this approach, and the suggestions for improvement, I have a much more solid idea of what I want to do with the property in preparation for sale. Thank you for the help! :-)"

"Brian is great to work with. He provided an appraisal of a very outdated home that needed a major rehab. It was helpful to have the appraisal since we had no idea what the home was worth in its condition. His fee was very reasonable and the appraisal was close to what the home ultimately sold for. I highly recommend Brian Butcher!"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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

In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that’s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it’s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn’t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you’d spend coordinating the repairs.

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.

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.

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.
