Customers say: Quick response

"Dear Angie, thank you for the listings! Mr. Barlock was the first professional who responded in record time to my search for Appraisers. Within the half hour after my recommendations were received, Mr. Barlock messaged me with a professional greeting informing me of his services and contact information. There was no pressure, but an offer of professional service. Upon direct contact, Mr. Barlock was extremely knowledgeable, communicative, informative, and his expertise demonstratively competent. He helped me understand a few things about my dwelling that I did not know (Thank you so much!)! His assessment also gave me a better view of what's going on in my neighborhood regarding values and sales (Awesome)! I enjoyed learning and observing the process. I also have an abundance of analytical data with which to move forward with. If you are seeking a seasoned professional who is everything you hope for and more, then Mr. Barlock is your Appraiser of choice. Ms. El"

"I consulted with several leading Real Estate firms in Northern Virginia to determine the best selling price for my home of all these firms Marc Dosik was the most knowledgeable about the current housing market which led to me selling my home for thousands of dollars more that had I gone with the other Real Estate firms. He also was the most organized and professional when it came to showing and closing on the property. If I was selling another property in Northern Virginia I clearly would call on Marc again."

"I am a 100% satisfied first time First Advantage customer. Wade arrived on time, was very thorough with his home inspection, highly professional and pleasantly very personable as well. I did a lot of research prior to hiring First Advantage and could not be any happier with both the business experience and my very comprehensive highly detailed home appraisal that was emailed to me promptly as promised the very next day in PDF format and by request, a complementary mailed printed copy was included as well. If anyone needs an honest and accurate very comprehensive professional home appraisal, I highly recommend hiring this second-to-none in the industry home appraisal company. Thanks Wade. It was a genuine pleasure doing business with you. If I ever need another home appraisal or meet anyone else who needs one, expect to hear back from me or them again. Best wishes to you and your family."

FAQs for antique and jewelry appraisal projects in Crofton, MD

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.
