"Mr. Spitzer was very professional and friendly. I was very anxious about getting my parent's home appraised, but Mr. Spitzer allayed my anxiety by explaining the appraisal process and being totally non-judgemental....the house is not in the best condition, so that was a concern of mine. I totally recommend and will hire Mr. Spitzer for the appraisal of my own home!"

"I hired Schubert Appraisal, LLC. Abe Schubert responded virtually instantaneously, showed up to perform the appraisal same day I requested assistance. He completed and delivered the final appraisal, also same day. The price for his services was far better than others I shopped that later responded. He exceeded all expectations, responsiveness, professionalism, the final product. Not sure if I was just lucky, but more probably he is just that good. No, he is not family, never met him before, but calling it as I see it, he deserves a great review."

"I recently decided to sell my condo and wanted to make an educated decision on what the list price should be so i decided to get my condo appraised. I came onto Homeadvisor and entered the required information. The following more i had a email response from Dondi of Calstin Appraisal Services. We ended up speaking later that morning and by the the end of the call i had the appraisal scheduled for later that day. Dondi gave me all the particulars and i gave him the information he needed so I was comfortable with him doing the appraisal. Totally fantastic on that point as i was looking for the appraisal to be done asap. He came out to my property, did what he had to do and left my condo locked up tight because i wasnt able to be there. Dondi was so polite too. Got my appraisal within a couple of days and boy was he thorough. The appraisal report gave me tons of info and the value was in the range of what i expected. Thoroughly happy with his service and would have no issue recommending him to anyone looking for appraisal services. Thanks Dondi"

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.
