I am a locally owned and operated residential real estate appraisal service, licensed in the state of Maryland. With over 20 years of industry experience, I value honesty and integrity, and stand behind our work. I look forward to building long-term relationships with our clients and guarantee your satisfaction! I do charge a 75-dollar trip fee to come perform the appraisal. Should you move forward, that 75-dollar trip fee is waived.

"There was a miscommunication on the part of my loan office. I needed to pay for an additional apparisal report. Mr. Cushner was a top rate apparaiser. However, I can't use his report with my loan company."

"We cannot speak highly enough of David Yungmann and recommend him as a Realtor without hesitation. His unique combination of vast professional knowledge and expertise, and casual yet highly professional manner made him a perfect fit for us. The support, guidance and advice he provided while my husband was deployed were priceless and made parts of the process that could have been intimidating and daunting a breeze. David went above and beyond for us more than once including bringing his lovely young daughter to one of the particularly drawn out meetings to keep our even younger daughter company!
We absolutely love our new home and look forward to enjoying many happy years here, but when the time comes to make our next real estate move, we will definitely work with David again."

"My husband and I expressed an interest in a particular neighborhood that is often in high demand to Mary Schaner, knowing that it may be quite some time before a house became available. Mary kept us in mind and each time there was a listing, she called us to let us take a look. Her patience was? appreciated and finally, after a lot of thought, we decided to purchase a house Mary found for us. She went above and beyond, working with us so that we could get what we felt was a fair purchase price, even convincing the seller to allow our contingency. It was a competitive situation, but Mary worked with us diligently. After a long couple of months waiting for our house to sell, we finally settled on the house and neighborhood we had been dreaming about. I'm convinced that none of this would have happened if Mary hadn't taken the time to keep in touch with us, staying on top of the market in our neighborhood of choice. I highly recommend Mary Schaner - a more friendly, conscientious and driven agent can't be found."

"I called because I was looking to refinance my mortgage. Simply,
instead of trying to sell me something I didn't need, Mark (the gentleman I
spoke with) told me this was not the right time for me to refinance. What he
told me made sense for my situation, and I appreciated the honest advice. I
will definitely look this company up again when it is time for me to refinance.

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.
