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 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

Land doesn’t depreciate in the same way that a house, vehicle, or other property does, but it can lose value based on various factors. Environmental changes, nearby development, zoning changes, and economic downturns can all cause land to lose value over time. Value is a comparative figure, so as other related factors change, so can land’s value.

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.

While some aspects of an appraisal, such as comparable properties nearby, are out of your control, there are several steps you can take to potentially increase your home's value. Make any necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser's visit, as they can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. Examples include renovating older areas, updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, and staging your home. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades, which may increase your home's value by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.

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.

Yes, awnings can add value to a home, primarily by boosting its curb appeal and providing more usable outdoor space. While the exact monetary return on investment depends on the awning's size, style, and quality, they offer an excellent appeal factor to potential buyers. For example, an awning with a trendy metal roof can be particularly attractive. Even if the direct increase in resale value is modest, a well-chosen awning enhances the home's functionality and aesthetic.
