"A total professional. Seriously. Purchased two properties using her services. On both, she worked her tail off to find and show dozens of homes until we found what we really, really wanted. No pressure, no BS. She has just now completed the sale of the first property, a rental property, and, like my real estate luck goes, there were lots of issues and setbacks. She handled all with tact, professionalism and, well, sympathy. BTW she was my agent for the rental property as well. Again, a total professional. When candidates didn't suit her, she'd give me her insight. I trusted her completely to find the right tenants. In all of the above, she carefully walks you through the process, explains everything, anticipates issues, and goes beyond all expectations of service."

"I recently used Access Appraisal Group for a home appraisal, and Ed did an outstanding job. He was professional, courteous, and very efficient. The appraisal report was detailed and delivered sooner than expected. I couldnâ  t be happier with the service and would highly recommend Ed and Access Appraisal Group to anyone in need of residential appraisal services. Excellent work!""

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.
