"Partners Federal Credit Union has been working with Tip Top Appraisal company since before 2013. It has been a pleasure to work with this company all these years, and we have no intention of cancelling the partnership any time soon. As the manager of the mortgage department, I have had several situation where I had to reach to Tip Top for guidance, they have always been there for us, whether is providing knowledgeable information so we can better handle member situations, discussions on fees, rush appraisals, member service matters etc, Tip Top has always been reachable and easy to talk to. I see them as a true Partners, I have never felt short on what we are getting from them, compare to any other major AMC, in fact, I appreciate the personalized service and direct communication. My team feels exactly the same way when working with Tip Top and often is the AMC of preference. We currently only lend in FL and CA so that's the extend of our relationship with Tip Top"

FAQs for antique and jewelry appraisal projects in Lebec, CA

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.
