"I hired Jeffrey to give me an appraisal after I perform the number of upgrades on my home. Jeffrey was realistic, informative and very fair in his appraisal. I appreciated his willingness to walk me through the appraisal and to give me a true sense of the value of the property. I especially appreciated that he was conservative and fair. I'm certain this appraisal will stand the scrutiny of USDA and any Federal Bank. Sometimes appraisers work for the bank. I felt Jeffrey was protective of my interest. Jeffrey gave me confidence in me potential investment."

"David was patient, professional and extremely knowledgeable in the home buying process.  Given my circumstances I was searching for a home in a very narrow area in Columbia.  He provided helpful insights on various issues with prospective homes.  He also provided references to other quality services for financing and real estate inspection services as well as help in interpreting the results.  Eventually, we found an estate and short sale home and he worked with the seller?s agent and foreclosure attorney to drive the sale.  He warned me that the process could take longer than a standard home sale.  Unfortunately, the process did end up taking a year through no fault of David?s, and he continued to coach me through the process and prompt the seller?s agent and attorney for responses.  He even continued to set up appointments to view other homes in the area as the short sale dragged on.  As the sale closed Dave generously offered to pay for a home warranty service for a year.  Shortly before the coverage year ended, my dryer began to fail and I went to access the service only to find that the fee had never been paid by the title service.  Dave followed through on his word and he covered the cost of the dryer in full.  Given David's professionalism and responsiveness I fully recommend David to those looking to buy a home.

"Brian and his team were really impressive. From start to finish, he put our minds at ease and made the process stress-free. He's an expert at his craft, and knew exactly how to price our home. The preparation, listing, showing, and sale were all seamless. We were lucky to have found Brian as our real estate agent, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best."

"Fantastic! Mary is the most hard working and down-to-earth agent I have had the pleasure to work with. I was selling my mother's home. She really listened to our family, responded promptly to any questions we had, and made the process pain free for us. We interviewed several agents but decided on Mary as she seemed so in-tune with the area and easy to work with. Mary suggested some updates to the home that would pay off, and steered us away from items my family had in mind that would not be worth a return on investment. As a result I think we were able to capture a full price offer within 5 days. She even went above and beyond the call of duty and put new mulch down herself in my mother's front flower beds."

FAQs for antique and jewelry appraisal projects in Dayton, 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.
