Customers say: True professional

"Eric was professional, friendly, interesting, and thorough. Eric showed up 6 minutes late and texted me before to apologize. 6 minutes is nothing! He was great. He was professional, walked me through the steps of the appraisal, respected my home, and was efficient and has an eye for detail. I was impressed at every stage of the process. He completed the appraisal and sent me the full report in a very short time. I would recommend him to anyone and laud his service and experience. Great work!"

"Debbie from D&D spoke with me over the phone to discuss my needs. It was very quick to get an appointment. Debbie and another person from D&D did the appraisal. They were very thorough, very efficient, and really and very kind.I received a full report, with color pictures, local comps, and much detail. Their price for the appraisal was at least $100 less than other offers I had received. I am very pleased with their efficiency, attention to detail. I highly recommend them."

"Communication was poor. I called twice and left messages (on day 8 and day 12). I did not get a return phone call either time. The appraisal took longer than the five to seven days I had been told to expect. If Ken needed more time, he should have communicated with me. I got the appraisal the day after I posted a negative review."

FAQs for antique and jewelry appraisal projects in Valley Forge, PA

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.
