Appraisal - Real Estate

Serving Independence, WI and surrounding areas

In business since 1963

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 questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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). 

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. 

A property valuation, sometimes called a comparative market analysis or CMA, provides a real estate expert’s opinion on how much your property will sell for. It takes many things into consideration, like the condition and location of the home, but ultimately, all that matters for a property valuation is what a buyer might be willing to pay for the property. An appraisal is more concerned with determining the value. A valuation is to estimate what you’ll get for a property, while an appraisal helps a lender establish loan-to-value ratios and loan amounts.
