We provide appraisal reports to determine values of real estate property's for Home owners ,Lawyers ,and Financial Institutions

"Shane only exists as an appraiser because of the random selection process for appraisers many lenders must take to avoid nepotism. If not for this, no one would use him. The average homeowner could perform a better appraisal than him. Showed up the day before we were scheduled. On the day we were scheduled, he showed up 20 minutes late, with his girlfriend watching a show on her phone in the passenger seat, she remained there the entire appraisal. After its completion, he needed me to send some pictures to him because several of his were blurry (how did you not see that before you left?) He then had to come back days later, something for compliance with his insurance. Once the appraisal report came in, my agent, myself, and the lender, all agreed this was the worst appraisal report, quality-wise, we have ever seen. If you get Shane, it's the Old Maid card. Discard. Cancel and reapply. Couldn't qualify for the loan unless I get a new appraisal from someone competent."

"Horrible Customer Service. Didn't give us an itemized list of each item that was sold at the sale. Took 30 days to get a check. Didn't return calls, text or emails in a timely manner Didn't disclose an additional charge to take away items. Didn't take unsold items to Hospice gift shop as we requested. We felt he took advantage of our grief."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

To get the highest appraisal value possible for your home, make any necessary repairs and updates prior to the appraisal. Some examples of tasks include updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, renovate older areas of the home, and consider staging your home. Keep in mind that some aspects of the appraisal are out of your control, such as comparable properties nearby.

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.
