"My appraiser was really thorough and very professional. I didn't have to wait. I called on a Friday and the appraiser came out on Monday. The only thing I had a wait for was the final report, and he told me beforehand. I would highly recommend this appraisal company."

"Linda Cavazos, from Redbird Appraisal, was great!!! She accepted and completed the appraisal very close to Christmas. The appraisal report exceeded our expectations through Linda?s thorough appraisal steps during and after her onsite visit. We almost placed our home on the market approximately $25k below the appraised value. The appraisal helped us avoid this potential mistake. Additionally, after measuring living space, Linda found we had a little more living space than originally listed. Never put your home on the market without an appraisal?and use Linda if you do.

"Mr. Schramm was 45 min late to the appraisal appointment with no explanation why. He seemed to be thorough while completing the appraisal, but he asked less questions about the home than I expected. I was intimately involved in the building of my home and felt like I had a lot to offer from an information standpoint, and I didn't feel like he really cared to hear all of my inputs. Finally, Mr. Schramm told me the appraisal would be completed on a Tuesday, possible Wednesday. Here it is Friday and I still don't have it. To his credit, I will say that he has kept me informed on the status and why it is delayed for the most part."

FAQs for antique and jewelry appraisal projects in Universal City, TX

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.
