"He was prompt and professional. The standard appraisal form does not include any means to value ease of access and view. In a retirement community theses are both important purchase considerations. Not his fault but will surely impact value as perceived by candidate buyers."

"I used HomeAdvisor to find a good appraiser because Iâ m not in the same state as the property to be appraised. Mr. Churilla responded very quickly to my inquiry and after a short conversation, I felt comfortable hiring him to do the job. He was able to work within my schedule and was quick and very thorough in his assessment of the property. In all, I would highly recommend him for his knowledge and experience in the industry. Heâ s a true professional."

"Working with David to find our home was a great experience. As first-time buyers, he went above and beyond to explain the buying process and to make sure we really understood what was happening. David spend a considerable amount of time with us talking and looking for homes ( and eating tacos). David researched the houses in our price range and desired neighborhoods meticulously and was extremely thorough, he pretty much knows everything about any house in the Portland metro and beyond. He was very, very helpful when it came down to decision time and helped us through the signing process as well. I have recommended him as an agent to several friends and everyone of them has loved working with David. David really cares if your experience is good and about finding the right home for you. We love our home and it's a perfect fit for us, our own little paradise."
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.
