"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."

"We interviewed several realtors and Cindy stood out immediately from the rest with her energetic and inquisitive nature. She toured the clubhouse and outdoor areas with us to better understand the features and layout of the community and gain perspective as a selling tool. Cindy is patient and thorough in explaining the selling process and was always available to answer our questions. We valued her advise and professionalism. Cindy has great follow up. Our condo sold within a couple of weeks and the process was easy thanks to Cindy."

"i called The Jackson Appraisal Group as I needed to get a property I was purchasing appraised as the mortgage company did not. I called on Tuesday and told them I needed the work done ASAP. They gave me a date of Thursday. Even though the date picked happened to be the first ice storm of the season, the appraisal was done on Thursday as promised. I was told the appraisal report would be delivered by Monday and it was. Communication was excellent with receipt of a text alerting me that the appraisal was e-mailed to me. Excellent coordination and customer service. I would recommend them to anyone needing an appraisal done!"

FAQs for antique and jewelry appraisal projects in Dunkirk, 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.
