"Hadeel was very professional from start to finish. She always kept me in the loop of how many people looked at the house and what there feedback was. Not a lot of agents do that. Getting feedback helped us sell the house quickly."

"Appraisal for refinancing was completed by a trainee with Skelton Associates. Comparables used to value our home for refinancing were much older, and of lesser quality, not on cul-de-sac nor in subdivision of similar quality. Appraiser stated the 3 comparables he selected were "in our market area", but he totally ignored true comparables by the same builder about a mile away. Those comparables by the same builder were $35/sq ft more than our home, even with the same floor plan!
In 2012, we made $65,000 worth of window/door improvements upgrading to expensive Premier Vue Hurricane windows & doors, which were incorrectly noted on the appraisal as performed in 2008. Other significant improvements not mentioned at all, like new upgraded HVac. The appraiser seemed rushed, and didn't deliver to the loan officer our appraisal for several days beyond the promised date, which held up the refinancing process considerably.
I've tried to contact Skelton Associates leaving my name and number more than 3 times on their answering machine, but have yet to receive contact or a call. I cannot in good faith recommend them based upon inaccuracies in the report, poor selection of comparables which undervalued our home when comparables by the same builder were available from only about 1 mile away, and difficulty in reaching them to request that corrections be made.
Update to B rating regarding pricing, which apparently is common for all appraisals of this type.

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.
