"Did what was requested in a timely manner. No hassles which is exactly what a person needs when dealing with the loss of a spouse. This was specific for an estate appraisal. Not an appraisal to buy real estate. This is for estate tax purposes which is different. Thank you."

"I called A.C. Klein Appraisal Associates, Inc. in the morning, met with him at the property to be appraised in the afternoon and got the appraisal by email that evening. It doesn't get any better than that!"

"We just bought a small second home in Billerica and furnished it from scratch. This resulted in way more cardboard and other trash than we were warm and fuzzy about breaking down, cutting to the required size and tied bundle height specified for curbside pickup; we also had miscellaneous paint and other items added to the pile. I found Steve on Angie's List and called him. He was prompt and courteous in all communications, arrived on the day promised to give us an estimate and stuck to his word when he performed the work on the promised date. This is important because we did advise that we still had several more boxes and items to add to what he was viewing for the estimate -- we were able to give him an approximate report of what else would be added and we didn't exceed what we told him, likewise he didn't add to his original estimate. He is very careful in his work, is neat and quick and friendly. We are VERY pleased and will use him again. We will also recommend him to anyone who can use his multi-faceted services."

"The "Big Deal" included the walk through to provide the estimate for improvements, which the company provided, but it also promised many other things including a property analysis, market analysis, and estimated value of home after completion of work which I have yet to receive. I originally scheduled the walk through for Tue. 1/6, but they called that day to reschedule for the next day. Already that was an inconvenience since I had to coordinate with my tenant and leave early from work, but I understood that things come up. The following day, they left a message that they have to reschedule again, and then called back a few hours later to say that they didn't have to reschedule after all but the people doing the walk through would instead be about a half hour late (closer to 5:00p, than 4:30p). It was very confusing and getting a little annoying at this point. I showed up at the property at 4:30, just in case, and they were already there. It's a good thing I didn't wait until 5:00 since no one would've been there to let them in! After the walk through, I was told I'd receive the report in a few days. The following Monday (1/12) I received an email with just the estimate for improvements that they can provide, and no mention of the rest of the expectations from the Big Deal. When I emailed back to ask about it, the office rep said "We are actually almost done with that section of your report and that will be emailed to you by the end of the day today or first thing in the morning." Three days later (Thu 1/15) I hadn't heard or seen anything. I emailed again to check in and was told "We have a meeting scheduled in about an hour to discuss the best strategy for your property. The report will be to you by the end of the day." I'm not sure what strategy is needed to provide a market analysis, but I waited, again, and still didn't receive the report when promised. After yet another follow-up email today (Fri 1/16) I finally received the full report. To sum up, they eventually provided everything expected, and the quality seems fine, but there were too many frustrations and disappointing correspondences with unmet (self-imposed) deadlines that makes me not want to work with this provider in the future.

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.
