"Diane did an excellent job of selling my condo on Lake Monona in the summer of 2013. It was on the market for about 3 months before we got an accepted offer. All went very smoothly and I would definitely recommend her--especially for a lakefront property.

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. So I have a keen understanding of the people [, the area, the demographics and value of the Real Estate. \n \nI am a licensed Wisconsin Appraiser 1520-004, licensed Wisconsin Judge for State and County Fairs, Certified licensed & Livestock Appraiser, Certified personal property appraiser. I also am a member of appraisers in Wisconsin work together to provide superior service to lenders. We share 8 data bases, of which we belong to within the state, as well as, several other areas available on the internet. We share information with each other, consult on problems; that may arise on the assignments. We range from licensed appraisers, to certified appraisers, to general certified appraisers. 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 FAQs, answered by experts

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.

As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. 

In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.

Yes, home appraisers look at your windows when appraising your property to determine the market value of your home. They’ll factor in the type of windows, quality, condition, whether or not there are screens covering the windows, frame materials, size, insulation, and more to come up with an unbiased property assessment.

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). 

If installing board and batten fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn’t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home’s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home’s price won’t see a noticeable bump.
