"Since a home can be one of the largest and costliest purchases a person can make, I went in as prepared as I could in securing the mortgage. Mark got high praise on Angie's List so I gave him a call to see what we can do. The coupon for a free bank appraisal upon transaction completion was a plus! There is a ton of paper work that goes into a home purchase, and I like to meet the person I'm doing business with, so Mark was gracious in inviting me to his office for our first meet on a Saturday. I could not do a weekday due to a busy work season. He even offered to drive and meet me at a half way point (we are approx 2 hours apart), but mutually decided his office would be best for being close to his PC and copy machine for all of the documentation. I came in with 90% of the docs that he needed on day 1 and whenever the bank needed more our communication was like a game of ping pong. While I made sure to send him something they needed within 24 hours, Mark and the bank communicated seamlessly with no lag in response time. My real estate paralegal was surprised that the bank and Mark would respond so quickly where most would take days. Even on the day of closing, the bank warned us that they might take until 5pm to get everything ready, but my lawyer's office had everything they needed by around 2-3pm.
At certain points I got nervous about the rising interest rates but this is not something anyone can control and Mark helped to calm me. I also freaked a bit about not meeting the interest lock deadline, but Mark somehow took care of it and got the bank to keep the same rate even though we were 4 calendar days / 1 business day late.
The absolute best quality about Mark's service is that he or his office WILL ALWAYS PICK UP YOUR CALL. We even spoke on the weekends sometimes. He might pick up just to tell you that he has to call you back later, but its real customer service that you get a human being to tell you this and not a voice mail that you're not sure they received or not.

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.
