"I had a wonderful experience with Hart and Howard Real Estate! I spoke with Kristina originally, and she was really informative and helpful. I was looking for someone to do a private appraisal, so I didn't have a lender walking me through the process or anything. Turns out, I didn't need anybody but these two knowledgeable and friendly appraisers. They answered all of my questions and really helped me to understand how the process works. Caitlin is the appraiser who ended up doing my inspection. It was easy to schedule and she showed up on time which is a win in my book. I found Caitlin to be very professional and thorough in her inspection. The turn-around time for delivery of the report was accurate and very reasonable. With my limited experience in the industry, I felt that her evaluation made sense. They seemed to take all the particulars of my property into account in the comparable sales and analysis. I am quite pleased with my experience and would definitely recommend Hart & Howard for your appraisal needs!"

"Tara was very professional, had high levels of communication and did an incredibly in depth review of the home I had appraised in a very short period of time (relative to my needs I guess)."
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.
