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&rsquo;t conform to the neighborhood standards, the valuation will require more work and will likely cost more.</p></div>

The appointment was scheduled for 8am on a weekday. John arrived early and started his assessment of the outside portion of property prior to my arrival, which I appreciated. The process took less than 30 minutes and the appraisal was emailed to me in less than a week.

Property appraisals FAQs

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.
