"Jeff Yano is GREAT to work with. He was able to fit my appraisal into his schedule surprisingly fast. I had contacted other appraisers one never called back..another JUST called me back yesterday..weeks after Jeff Yano had already done my appraisal. He was thorough, kind & helpful. I would use his services again & recommend him to anyone looking for an appraisal. Thank you again for your help and kindness Mr. Yano, I appreciate YOU!"

"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."

His appraisal report was very thorough and I received it by the promised date. His appraisal cost is also very affordable, after getting quotes from other appraisal companies."

"He was prompt and professional. The standard appraisal form does not include any means to value ease of access and view. In a retirement community theses are both important purchase considerations. Not his fault but will surely impact value as perceived by candidate buyers."

"David listens to the needs of his clients. Really listens. He provides lists of houses to preview that fit his clients needs. David is very good at communicating and negotiating with the other realtors involved in the transaction. I have experienced David as a buyer for my home and a seller for a family member's home. He did his homework and was able to obtain the best prices. His long experience as a realtor is evident in his awareness of structural issues a house may have. David has an excellent list of service providers for any repairs or renovations desired. Portland has many neighborhoods and David has sold homes in them all. David provides excellent guidance in Portland's difficult real estate market. I highly recommend David as a buyer's or seller's agent.

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.
