"We had a house appraised in Vienna for a refinance. Rather than choosing houses which had sold that year one or two blocks away, she chose houses from a different quadrant of town and outside the town limits, which affected the value and our refinance. Disappointed."

"I paid $525, though their website listed the price as lower, but has since been removed. Maz Surmaty offered to come either Thursday or Friday but sent a separate appointment confirmation email for Friday afternoon when I would be getting home from work. After the confirmation was made, earlier in the week he asked to come Thursday instead, I told him this no longer worked as I made my plans to accommodate Friday. Then on Friday, he texted me at work, to ask if he could come early. I told him I was not home, but my fiance was there. He walked with my fiance and was finished before I got home. My house, which I purchased two years prior as a 3 bedroom 2 bath; he listed as a 2 bedroom 1 bath. Granted the downstairs bathroom is surrounded by an unfinished basement, so may not count anymore. But the 3 bedrooms upstairs have not changed or disappeared. I cannot find a listing of my house that has EVER listed as 2 bedrooms. Despite multiple attempts to have the error corrected, I am receiving a minimal response from both Maz and my loan officer on the topic. The loan office said Maz lied and told him one of the rooms was under construction. This is not true, 3 bedrooms upstairs are finished, one ADDITIONAL bedroom is under construction in the basement. If this is resolved, I will remove this review."

Ranked as the #1 Real Estate Team in Arlington - and number 4 Nationwide for Keller Wiliams in 2014 - The Keri Shull Team sold over 261 homes in 2014 and has sold over $250 million in real estate in the past six years.
"I've known Keri and her team for over a decade now, and they are different than any other agent or team I've ever experienced. Their team specializes in each aspect of the business, so instead of getting someone that is okay or good at various parts of the job, everyone is excellent at what they do, and their results show it. We were living out of state when we found out we needed to quickly put our home on the market and needed it sold before the holiday season. Keri and her team coordinated every step of the process flawlessly and were there in our absence to handle everything from inspection repairs to closing. From the time we listed to closing was only 3 weeks. We asked them to deliver on a quick timeline and ensure we received a great price and they over-delivered on all fronts. We will always use their team in the DMV!"

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.
