"I know a good appraiser from a bad one and I can assure anyone reading this that the 'My Florida Home Appraisal' falls into the excellent category! Having worked with Wojciech now for a couple of years I've found the quality of his work, his professionalism, his integrity, and his reliability, to be second to none. If you're in need of one of the best appraisers in the Tampa/Fort Myers/Cape Coral areas, you definitely need to give him a call! You'll be glad you did!"

"Professional, extremely competent and engaged. During the early weeks of the Hurricane Helene disaster, Bluemark Valuation Advisors were able to produce a 50 page appraisal, complete with color photos, statistics and supporting documentation. Even as federal, state and local governments were finding their way through the bureaucratic maze, Bluemark remained engaged with all entities, ensuring the appraisal would meet the ever-changing requirements. Some of my neighbors have had their appraisals returned by the city government, but not mine! I am confident that Bluemark and Victor Torres will be instrumental in saving my home and returning it to it is original condition."

"Attuned Appraisal Services is very thorough and got the appraisal done quickly and professionally."
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.
