Thank you for considering Appraisals By Silvana, providing residential real estate appraisal services in the Sacramento area for over 18 years. I appraise 1 to 4 unit residential properties, i.e. Single Family, Condo, Duplex, Triplex and Quadruplex. I maintain a Residential License in good standing with the State of California, and have a modest background and a working knowledge of most facets of residential construction. I have appraised all forms of residential property, from small tract homes to large, complex, one of a kind estates. Whatever your residential appraisal needs: family, estate, tax purposes, BK, planning to sell, etc., I will provide you with a professional attitude, the expertise that comes from experience, and a timely turn around. Let me know what you require, and know that your appraisal will be completed swiftly, efficiently, and stress free! Remember though, if this is for a loan, only lenders may order appraisal for lending purposes, not homeowners.
"I hired her because of the positive reviews I saw...but maybe they only post the positive ones! She did not measure the sq. footage herself but relied on "public records" which inaccurately listed my house as 1607 sq. ft. rather than 1075. Apparently these same public records listed my house in a different neighborhood, so she used comps from that neighborhood rather than those near my house. I tried to get her to correct these errors over a period of several months. I tried to get her to explain what public records she was using. Finally she said she had spent too much time on this and hung up on me! Very disappointed, have an appraisal that I paid for that is of no use!"

Real Estate Appraisals

Property valuation for refinance, purchase, estate and tax planning, divorce and death.
Property valuation for refinance, purchase, estate and tax planning, divorce and death.
An appraisal is an opinion of value, so anything that is expected to boost your home value is likely to work in your favor when it comes to the appraisal. Things like improving your curb appeal, painting, refinishing floors, and taking care of minor repairs are all good investments prior to ordering an appraisal. It’s also a good idea to clear out any clutter and complete a deep clean beforehand to show your property in the best light possible.
Appraisals aren’t required by law to complete a real estate transaction, but it’s unlikely that a lender will allow a buyer to close on a property without an appraisal, so, effectively, they are usually required. Your mortgage lender uses the property as collateral for your loan, and the appraisal is what the lender will base the mortgage on to confirm the value is there to justify their investment.
The average cost of a property appraisal is around $355, but different appraisers in your area could charge anywhere from $250 to $500. Appraisals for larger properties will often cost more, as will valuations for older properties. Appraisers will use homes in the surrounding area to help determine a valuation as well, so if your home doesn’t conform to the neighborhood standards, the valuation will require more work and will likely cost more.
A licensed appraiser is the only individual that can carry out a property appraisal. You should always check to ensure an appraiser you’re considering has the proper licensing from your state. Additionally, since an appraisal is meant to be an unbiased opinion of a property’s value, you should confirm that the appraiser doesn’t have ties to any other party in the sale of the property.
Anyone can hire a property appraiser to confirm the inherent value of a property, but the buyer or buyer’s lender will usually choose the appraiser and pay the individual for their opinion. It’s also not uncommon for the seller’s side in a real estate transaction to hire an appraiser in order to justify an asking price or negotiate a higher selling price.
