"I wholeheartedly recommend Kevin for any/all property appraisal needs. I requested a quote via Angie's List and he contacted me the very same day. He was able to schedule my appointment quickly and performed his services exactly as he described. He was thorough in appraising our property, and the report he sent was detailed and showcased how knowledgeable Kevin is. I found the pricing to be reasonable and I would definitely use his services in the future."

"Adam promised a quick turn around on the appraisal that he initiated on September 20 by visiting the home to be appraised and picking up payment of $250. He stated to the owner that he hoped to get it to me by September 22. I needed it by September 28. In my inquiry of September 27, he said that he would finish it that day. It is October 1 and I have yet to hear from him.."

"Brian helped us to sell our investment condo, and I was glad that I hired him. As we had only bought properties in the past, and not sold, Brian was very patient in educating us, and helping us get the answers to our questions in a timely manner. In working with Brian, I felt that I was working alongside an agent who was professional, understood the Pittsburgh market, and could advise us well to get the maximum selling price leading up to the closing. He was excellent in helping us to negotiate between various buyers. He gave honest and candid advice, and helped us to ultimately make the right decisions in selling our property. We made more money because of Brian. I would recommend Brian to anyone selling their investment property or primary residence."

"Mark may be the most responsive person I've dealt with in financial services. He answers the phone when you call. He responds to e-mails quickly. He is available whenever you have a question - and I had questions at 6:30 in the morning, 8:00 at night, and on Saturdays and Sundays and I never had trouble reaching him. He works very hard to find the best rate and terms for your individual situation. He'll make recommendations and suggestions, but I never felt as if he was pressuring us in any one direction. He allowed us time to think about things, talk it over, and make a stress-free decision. Once the application was submitted things moved very quickly and smoothly. The appraiser showed up when he was supposed to, approval came quickly, and then an individual came to the house for the actual closing. Can't get much easier than that. And as a bonus, the Angie's List coupon saved us $400. I'm not sure rates can go much lower than they are now, but if they do and we decide to refi again, I'm calling Mark."

"Jay did an AWESOME job at discretely listing, promoting and ultimately selling my
property within 3 months!!!! The property itself would only appeal to a
very small target audience and he worked to produce QUALITY potential
buyers. I ended up selling the property for more than 30%
what another TOP agent in the area was insistent it could be sold for.
Jay was friendly, and easy to work with - yet a shark when it came to
negotiating the final deal and making sure my interests were top
priority.
I sold another property a few months prior and wished I had used Jay for that as well....it definitely would have been a better outcome.
I will absolutely be recommending Jay to my friends and colleagues!"

You can estimate a bathroom addition’s value between 10% to 20% of a home’s value. But this also accounts for extra square footage since homes with more bathrooms tend to have more space. When considering adding one, you should know that a bathroom generally adds only $5,000 to an appraisal price initially, with adjustments made for other factors like local home values.
Garages increase a property’s value by about 80% of the build price. The national average cost to build a garage is $23,900.
However, on an appraisal, a garage contributes to the whole rather than as a part. For example, if you have a garage, your appraiser then tries to compare it to nearby homes with garages, which often have a higher value.
A bedroom can add anywhere from $10,000 to $25,000 or more to an appraisal. It depends heavily on the size of the bedroom, the overall home’s value, the location, and what amenities it might include (like a walk-in closet).
A drive-by appraisal usually costs $100 to $150. For a drive-by appraisal, the appraiser only visually assesses the home's exterior, in addition to reviewing the real estate records on the home and comparing it to nearby homes.
An FHA appraisal costs between $400 and $700. Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans are usually less strict, so the appraisals are often more affordable. VA appraisal fees range from $425 to $900 for a single-family home. Compared to FHA loans, VA loans can be more involved.
A home appraiser will look at the real estate paperwork related to the home, but they will also do an exterior and interior assessment. Reviews include the square footage of the home and/or acreage of the lot, the age and condition of the home, construction materials used, the general state of the economy and local market, and the design and style of the home, along with any special features it may have. While an appraiser won’t be as thorough as a home inspector, they will likely notice very obvious problems and defects.
